Dippin' Dots Franchise Disclosure Document

Dippin' Dots is a novelty ice cream brand known for its flash-frozen ice cream beads. Founded in 1988, the brand licenses kiosks and mobile units in venues like malls, amusement parks, and stadiums. Operators typically manage carts or kiosks in high-traffic venues. The investment is relatively low compared to full foodservice franchises, and operations are streamlined with minimal staffing. Revenue is volume-driven, especially during peak seasons and events. Dippin' Dots supports franchisees with supply logistics and event-based marketing.

With nearly 40,000 FDDs collected over the past 25+ years, our growing database is maintained and enriched by a dedicated information management team that ensures accuracy, completeness, and timely updates. Just as important, FRANdata understands that while FDDs offer a wealth of standardized information, they may not address every question a stakeholder has—particularly when it comes to franchise performance, operational nuances, or long-term growth potential. That's why we complement the information in FDDs with broader research and advisory capabilities, helping clients interpret what's there, understand the context, and access deeper insights when needed.
