For more than thirty years Dippin' Dots has been creating fun and making memories for fans across the globe. Now, Wesson residents can enjoy the fun locally, with a new Dippin’ Dots location inside Milltown Mall.
Microbiologist Curt Jones invented the beaded ice cream concept in 1988 when he used his knowledge of cryogenic technology and his love for ice cream to create Dippin’ Dots, which has since been America’s number one beaded ice cream brand. Through innovation and imagination, Dippin’ Dots redefined ice cream.
Popularity grew, and, in the early 90's Dippin' Dots became the pre-teen image of fun with friends at malls and amusement parks across the country. In 1995, Dippin' Dots made its international debut in Japan, where fans of American culture would fall in love with the “Ice Cream of the Future.”
An icon at amusement parks and stadiums, Dippin’ Dots is served in nearly every major theme park and in more than two thirds of all baseball stadiums in the U.S., not to mention local water parks, amusement parks and attractions.
Dippin’ Dots Franchising, which has operated an award-winning franchise system since 2000, now has more than one hundred store and shopping center locations coast-to-coast. Today, the franchise model includes co-brand opportunities with sister company Doc Popcorn, the nation’s largest popcorn franchise, which was acquired by Dippin’ Dots in 2014. Many franchisees take their business mobile, serving Dippin’ Dots at thousands of fairs and festivals, from food trucks and mobile carts, and in schools and convenience stores.
Availability of Dippin' Dots products expands year after year, with 22,000 points of presence across the U.S. Through a variety of outlets including e-commerce, drug and convenience stores, fairs, festivals and events, Dippin’ Dots fans can often find their favorite sweet treat just around the corner.
At press time, available Dippin’ Dots flavors in Wesson included chocolate, cookies and cream, banana split, rainbow, cotton candy, and chocolate chip cookie dough.
Milltown Mall is located at 2058 US Highway 51, and the Dippin’ Dots are in the front by the register.
