Yarnell's Premium Ice Cream is ceasing operations, leaving 200 without jobs, the company announced Thursday morning.
The Searcy-based ice cream maker said that a tough year for the ice cream industry, particularly for regional manufacturers, prompted the decision.
In a news release, chief executive officer Christina Yarnell said the privately owned company had searched for ways to stay afloat in the past year, including finding new investors or even a possible sale.
