Blue Bell Creameries announced Thursday it was entering the second phase of re-entering the market, with its products available in several additional markets, including Dallas, Fort Worth and Waco, on Nov. 2.

Ricky Dickson, the company’s vice president of sales and marketing, said the company continues to make good progress and expects to begin production at its main plant in Brenham during the next few months. Currently Blue Bell Ice Cream is being made in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Sylacauga, Alabama.
