Braum’s: The Regional Dairy Empire That Refuses to Go National

Drive through Oklahoma, western Arkansas, north Texas, Kansas, or parts of Missouri, and you’ll likely see a familiar sign: Braum’s Ice Cream & Dairy Store. At first glance, Braum’s can look like another regional fast-food restaurant. There are hamburgers, fries, breakfast biscuits, and chicken sandwiches. Walk a few steps farther, though, and there is an old-fashioned ice cream counter. Then, tucked into the same building, is something even more unusual—a small grocery market selling milk, butter, cheese, eggs, bread, meat, produce, and cartons of Braum’s ice cream.

This Oklahoma Country Store Grills Giant Longhorn Burgers And Makes A Perfect Fall Road Trip Stop

The burger here is seven inches across, with a half-pound patty of grass-fed Longhorn beef raised in the same county. Your hands will need a game plan before the first bite. The building is the last one standing from a 1901 gold rush town. In 1985, a seismograph went in to track a nearby fault line, so lunch comes with its own earthquake monitor.
