Hmm wonder if WMT or Kroger may be contemplating purchasing the company outright?

Wmt already has their own milk facility, that’s why Dean started to lose share, but they’ve had pain at other retailers as well.

There’s plenty of truth to reduced milk consumption; not really a growth category.

There’s a difference between declining milk and filing bankruptcy. More to see here then they are leading on us my guess.

Dean’s in talks with the Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) about a deal in which DFA would buy almost all of Dean, a dairy aisle mainstay that produces Land O'Lakes and Organic Valley's milks. Dean also said it’s secured $850 million in financing from existing lenders.

Milk is a tough business. $5/gal and how many are sold a day vs the $5 starbucks coffee cup.

Their spokesman was on SNL's Weekend Update. Funny guy.
