Schwanns who has 3 billion in annual sales sold to a South Korean company for 1.8 Billion.  That is for 80% of the company.  The family kept 20% of the company.

Not sure why they would sell it myself. But like Glenn, I won't buy any of their stuff. We used to buy a lot of their stuff when we lived in Becker.
Hey look your bobber is up!

When I lived in Stillwater we bought ice cream from them.  Great ice cream too.

My guess is that it involved estate planning and generational transition, like the fleet farm sale.

He must not have been wearing Kingsford cologne boober so yer wifey probably wasn't allured either... :rotflmao:

We still get stuff from the Schwan's man. For a short time the driver was a hot chick but I never saw her. She got stuck in our yard once while we were gone. Neighbor guy came up and pulled her out. She gave him a box of ice cream treats as payment then he was dumb enough to tell me about it. Never let him hear the end of it... :rotflmao:
