^^Many thanks. That is the "oddest" national dispersal of any company I've ever seen.

Not sure where Blue Bunny is sold around here. I’ve seen it at Six Flags as well as Fuddrucker’s. And I’m sure that the Blue Bunny Birthday Cake that my kid had a Fuddrucker’s was loaded with artificial colors.
Blue Bunny is produces in Le Mars, Iowa. They have the largest production facility in the US but it may not have national distribution.
Sorry, but Blue Bunny around the Chicago area is like this:
They have retail distribution in my area. But they have a plant in the Las Vegas area.

They bought the plant in Henderson, NV which used to be owned by Unilever.
Wells Enterprises Inc., maker of Blue Bunny Ice Cream, is buying a former ice cream plant in Henderson and hiring more than 250 of the facility’s employees.
The Le Mars, Iowa-based ice cream manufacturer announced Tuesday that it is purchasing the nearly 200,000-square-foot Unilever facility at 1001 Olsen St. for an undisclosed sum, in a deal set to close this month.
It will be Wells Enterprises’ first manufacturing plant in Nevada.
“We’re excited to have over 250 employees of the Henderson facility join Wells,” Wells Enterprises CEO and President Mike Wells said in a release. “The facility provides an even larger platform for growth while positioning us to better serve our customers.”
Here's a pretty simple 3 ingredient recipe for vanilla ice cream. I've tried it and it's pretty decent, and not that hard to make.
I’m guessing this happened after Wells Enterprises sold out to Ferrero.
Luxembourg / Iowa – December 7th, 2022 –The Ferrero Group (Ferrero) and Wells Enterprises (Wells) today announced an agreement for Ferrero to acquire Wells, its operations and its strong ice cream brands, which include Blue Bunny®, Blue Ribbon Classics®, Bomb Pop® and Halo Top®. The acquisition is part of Ferrero’s strategic growth ambitions for the ice cream category and Wells’ vision for accelerated growth.
I've tried that flavor of their soft serve. Not awful, but not great either; an average mass market product.
One thing I wish was more readily available is frozen custard, which has a higher level of richness compared to ice cream.
BLUE BELL is still real ice cream and real good too.....
I have always wanted to go to Moonlight BBQ and Old Hickory in Owensboro. I must make that journey about 1.5 hours
