Blue Bell expanding into Vegas due to popular demand



Soon, Texans in Las Vegas will be able to drown their gambling-loss sorrows with a taste of home. Blue Bell Ice Cream has unveiled plans for a distribution center near the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada.

Blue Bell will begin being sold in Las Vegas after March 3, when the operation opens for business. According to Blue Bell reps, they will be offering all the usual flavors to Las Vegans.

Why Nevada?

Harold Gilson, regional manager for Blue Bell, says that the company received many requests from consumers and grocery store managers to bring the brand to Nevada.

I suppose I'll give Blue Bell a go, it's in most market here in NM.

The local Creamland is generally quite good, but their chocolate is only the thief of the name.
