Don't mean to nitpick but Braum's isn't a co-op/consortium. It's a single family's massively-integrated retail operation. They own and operate basically all of their farms and ranches along with the manufacturing plants for their containers and even their delivery fleet. Braum is the last name of the guy who founded it.
(Oh, and it's not Texan. Braum's is an Okie brand; they don't open up stores more than about 300 miles from their central farms in Oklahoma.)
- solotronics 9y agoalso interesting they like investing in the commercial real estate they use for the stores, somewhat like McDonald's in that respect
- burntrelish1273 9y agoEverything before the word "but" is BS. I never said it was based in Texas, you read the wikipedia and acted like an expert. It's a vertically-integrated supply-chain.
- techsupporter 9y agoI worked for Braum's for four years in Fort Worth, Texas. It was my first "real" job after high school. They have a little book that they give employees that describes the company and the history. The company describes itself like I did. Would you like a picture as proof of my bona fides? Please don't assume malice.
- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoOn the internet nobody knows you're an expert.
- cylinder 9y agoYou got salty quickly. There's quite a distinction between a private family business with a vertically integrated supply chain and a farmers cooperative operating a chain of ice cream shop, and I'm glad he pointed that out.
- technojunkie 9y agoThat explains why I've never seen one anywhere near Houston! I always wondered.
- IslaDeEncanta 9y agoBraum's just cut the size of their burgers and their shakes aren't as good anymore. I'm so disappointed in them.
- throwaway7645 9y agoAlways wondered why i couldn't get it outside Texas. The burgers and ice cream are great.
