HONOLULU - Hawaii chain Zippy's Restaurants has signed a deal to continue serving Dave's Ice Cream in its 24 locations. The Hawaii Star-Advertiser reported Zippy's says the contract with Honolulu-based Dave’s takes effect immediately. Zippy’s says the arrangement will result in annual servings of at least 23,500 gallons of vanilla and 16,000 gallons of chocolate ice cream from Dave’s. The bankruptcy last month of national food and beverage firm Dean Foods caused concern for Dave's owner, Dave Leong, who says Dean subsidiary Meadow Gold has changed suppliers and could cut off a third of his company's business.
