This wish goes out to Lauren!Posted by f'real was live.F'real visits Raffi's school and shares the new flavor he created, Raffi's Frosted Cupcake, with his classmates!Keith Milne has not been an anonymous Piedmont resident for a long time. He’s known for his work in the formation of a basketball foundation for kids, driving a pickup truck backward in the Fourth of July parade and yelling too loudly at his son’s football games. Now Milne has another claim to fame.
As chief financial officer of f’real foods, Milne was instrumental in bringing milkshakes, sometimes called “Milne-shakes,” to Piedmont’s Mulberry Market, and he couldn’t be happier. “I get no greater kick than driving or riding my bike through Piedmont and seeing f’real milkshakes walking down the street, anything from 3-year-olds to 70-year-olds,” Milne said. Milne joined the company in 2006, impressed with Chief Executive Officer Jim Farrell and his vision. Farrell believed that people loved milkshakes. He wanted to bring milkshakes out of ice cream stores and make them available in convenient locations at an inexpensive cost. At f’real Milne saw a company that from a business standpoint had different vectors for potential growth. “F’real had only two product lines, was only in certain parts of the United States and was highly concentrated in only one distribution channel, which was convenience stores,” he said. “Since I’ve joined we’ve expanded into each of those segments.”
The company began with milkshakes and they remain basically ice cream and milk. that’s all we’ve got,” Milne said. “The product is everything. We want f’real to be understood to be the best that people can get, period.” The creation of a milkshake from frozen ingredients is the job of the commercial, self-serve blender, and people seem fascinated by how it works. Consumers operate the machine and choose the thickness they want. The process is quick and simple; the blender rinses and sanitizes itself and is immediately ready for the next customer. “The company is unique,” Milne said. “You can’t blend shakes without the blender, but the shakes are also unique to the blender.” Another important aspect of the company that attracted Milne and remains a big part of his positive work experience is the work environment. Farrell had very clear ideas about how he wanted people to interact within the company and with their supply partners and customers. “It’s all about having fun at work, having balance between work and a personal life and treating people as if you are all in it together,” Milne said.
As chief financial officer, Milne tracks financial performance and must work up detailed strategic planning for a very seasonal business, managing the company through a seasonal cycle. “The hotter the temperatures are, the hotter our sales, and vice versa,” he said. Of equal importance is for the company to remain self-sufficient financially, without outside investors. “As a business aspect that keeps us focused 100 percent on our customers and their consumers and what is working for them,” Milne said. The product line now includes milkshakes, smoothies and frozen cappuccinos and is available in 49 states and Canada. It can be found in college and university food services, hospital food services, movie theaters, military bases and fast food restaurants. The products are selling well at Mulberry Market, and Milne is pleased to form a link between his job and the community he has called home for 14 years. “I thought the product would fit right in to the image of the remodeled store,” he said.
“It’s a success for us and for them.” Outside of work, Milne keeps active with a variety of recreational pursuits including sailing, windsurfing, skiing and mountain biking. He’s still active in the basketball foundation but his main interest is spending “any second I can get with my two teenage children.” Milne was originally attracted to Piedmont’s small-town feel and strong public schools, and his feelings have not altered over the years. “Piedmont is very family-oriented, and you see a lot of families that have been there for generations,” he said. “I think that one of the things that provides a tight-knit fabric for the community is that the city has its own school district and police department. So there’s this feeling of self-reliance and ability to self determine.” Then there’s the Fourth of July parade with Milne as a second basket in a moving basketball game, most likely surrounded by paradegoers enjoying f’real milkshakes, smoothies and cappuccinos.
