About Blue Bell Creameries
The Brenham Creamery Company formed in 1907 to process farmers' excess butter and dairy products, adding ice cream production by 1911. E. F. Kruse, who managed it from 1919 to 1951, renamed the firm Blue Bell Creameries in 1930 and expanded sales beyond Brenham. Under Kruse family leadership it grew into a leading national ice cream producer.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Blue Bell Creameries
In August 1907, the Brenham Creamery Company formed to purchase excess dairy products from farmers and produce butter local sales. In 1911, the creamery began making ice cream, producing a maximum of two gallons each day. E.F. Kruse, who managed the creamery from 1919 to 1951, changed the company's name to Blue Bell Creameries in 1930. During the company's early years, management set the tone for careful business practices and respect for tradition. Under the Kruse family's leadership, business expanded into markets outside of Brenham. Blue Bell has become one of the nation's most successful ice cream brands with a focus on its "country" origins, quality ingredients and friendly service.
