What is Braum’s?
Braum’s was established by Bill and Mary Braum. Mr. Braum’s father bought a butter processing plant in Kansas and worked to grow the family’s business, the “Peter Pan Ice Cream Stores.” By 1968, the family started Braum’s in Oklahoma, and from there, the stores spread to stores in five different states. Braum’s dairy farm and processing plant are based in Tuttle, Oklahoma. Today, the family owns several farms in southeastern Oklahoma.
Braum’s stores are restaurants that also offer some groceries. The restaurants serve breakfast, hamburgers, chicken, salads, ice cream, drinks, and more. One favorite for most people is the stores’ ice cream.
Braum’s markets sell the following products:
- Fresh meat
- Fresh dairy products (milk, butter, ice cream, and more)
