Roberts Dairy says "Happy Birthday" to Dairy Queen's Blizzard®

The local dairy supplies the soft serve mix for this favorite frozen treat

OMAHA, Neb. – April 28, 2010 – Dairy Queen’s Blizzard®mobile is making a stop in Omaha at the Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder meeting as part of its 25th Birthday Party Tour. As the local supplier of Dairy Queen’s soft serve mix, Roberts Dairy says congratulations on this milestone.

Berkshire Hathaway’s impact on Omaha’s local economy expands much beyond the shareholder’s meeting. Berkshire Hathaway and its subsidiaries, such as Dairy Queen®, support the local economy by supporting vendors like Roberts Dairy because they recognize the quality of the local product.

“People may not realize when they’re enjoying their Blizzard at a national franchise like Dairy Queen, they are supporting their local dairy farmers,” explained Jeff Powell, president of Roberts Dairy. “Since Dairy Queen has chosen Roberts as their supplier, they can be assured that at least 90 percent of the milk in the mix comes from farms within a 100-mile radius of where they live – with absolutely no added growth hormones.”

Headquartered in Omaha, Neb., Roberts Dairy employs more than 700 people. By choosing Roberts Dairy, companies such as Dairy Queen help the local economy by supporting these jobs.
