The little creamery in Brenham, as the company market itself, doesn't let anyone outside the company touch its product from the plant to the freezer case. Everything from R&D to distribution is handled in- house. The company cannot meet the demand for its ice cream and it doesn't even try. Blue bell commands 60 percent of the ice cream market in Texas and Louisiana and 47 Percent in alabama, where it opened a plant in 1997.
