Dean Foods declares Chapter 11 bankruptcy

We have many dairy brands locally with this name on it. Supposedly the reason is milk consumption is down 50% since 1970. Not in our house, it isn't. You would think they could have compensated somewhere in the past 50 years.

I actually work for a company that does business with them. They’re restructuring and have a buyer. They should hopefully have no interruptions in business and come out just fine.

I'd heard of Dean's but didn't know they were so big and had so many brands, including Land 'O Lakes and Friendly's Ice Cream. I got a good deal on Friendly's yesterday - two "half gallons" for $3.00. As for Land 'O Lakes, why is butter so expensive? It's no wonder people are moving to dairy alternatives.

I see their prepared refrigerated dips in Walmart.

I am a milk manaic - my personal consumption alone should be able to keep them in business. When I buy milk at the store people always ask me how many kids/grandkids I have living at my house to need all that milk. It it all for me...but it is my secret.

I like their products (sour cream & dips). I hope they are able to get everything squared away with the new buyer.

Wow...in my younger days I use to vendor stock for the company and the product was Land O'Lakes. I have used the product for so many years and recently started looking for alternatives due to the rising cost of the butter. I hope whomever purchases/acquired the company will continue to offer a quality product without further increasing the prices.

We know many people in our area who work for Dean's so I hope that even with a sale and restructuring that people do not lose their jobs.

Boy I never dreamed of all the changes in this world. Who would of thought milk companies would go bankrupt? Well all the new beverages have taken over like internet has closed a lot of brick and mortar. I remember milk delivery! We never thought we would have these big mega supermarkets. ❤️ 🐄 🥛
