Did you know.... Walmart built a dairy in Indiana to basically undersell Dean/Mayfields production... Then after the bankruptcy, offered the production to Dean Foods at the lower price so they could keep the doors open and shut down the Indiana facility. This is why you need to be informed, ask about products and understand the power you actually have when you make purchases. Yes buying local is a bit more expensive, but as the saying goes, "buyng a CEO another summer home, or helping send your neighbors kid to college is your choice" or maybe your employment depends on that local biz even.

I know my facts dean could of bought it and did whatever they wanted with it ch 11 was filed so that stopped them
So Walmart offered to sell its Ft Wayne plant to Dean?
Apparently you don’t know your facts either, the Indiana plant had no impact on the Mayfield production - completely different territories covered and impacted.
Dean could of bought that plant if they didn’t file ch 11
The Indiana Dean's milk plant is still open (currently).Walmart hurt more than that facility but it never closed.Rumor has it DFA is looking at buying that facility.
