Just wondering, how is it decided which plants get slated for closure? Is there any way to determine which ones are more likely to end up on Dean Foods' hit list?
I have to admit, this whole waiting game thing has me stressing much more than it is good for my health.
Dean Foods does not care about you. If you think for one second people will stop shopping Walmart because they can not buy Deans milk you are nuts. I have seen them lay off folks that had 40 years service and are only 58 years old. Very poor run company
You honestly think people will stop shopping at Wal-Mart because they can’t find Dairy Pure!!??
Come on man!
We heard Walmart super dairy already s---ed in a raw silo, has sand in it’s wash water and have an ecoli problem with them being so close to a sewer junction and will have to repipe. It sounds they won’t be able to deliver to their customers here in the Midwest.
I don't think that corporate fully knows that answer either. I think its a “wait and see” with what the new Walmart dairy in Fort Wayne Indiana does as far as volume drops. Who knows Walmart may loose customers who normally purchase Dean milk. That could drive customers to other stores in that region. If that happens volume wont change. It wouldnt make since to pull the plug on a plant until the customers tell Walmart and Dean what they want. Monitoring corporate activity in your plant can tell you something. More activity could mean more business from a consolidated plant coming your way.
