If Mom Owned an Ice Cream Store

dippindots_cranb.jpgHow cool would it be if your mom owned an ice-cream franchise?

First-time business owners Ann Kelly and Nicole Reinhart bought into a Dippin' Dots franchise in Tampa and opened a few weeks ago. With three children of her own, Kelly says she knows what kinds of products kids look for. "Dippin' Dots is an interesting and fun way to serve up ice cream," she says, "and my children and I have loved the little round dots since the first time we tried them. My kids were hooked instantly and will always choose Dippin' Dots Ice Cream over conventional ice cream any day."

Not me. The one time I tried Dippin' Dots, they were too cold and got all stuck on my tongue. It hurt. Give me the real stuff, preferably with chocolate gemmies, any day. Still, the ten-year-old in me says these kids have it made.

QS Nana loves Dippin' Dots!! So does TWGD. Try them again and get the cookies and cream flavor.

Baby A needs a chance to try them, so come on down. I wish we had a franchise but a restaurant in town beat us to it. However, I only let myself have them about twice a year.
