The Dolly Llama’s second area location to open July 1 in Plano
Originally set for a May opening, The Dolly Llama will make ice cream dreams come true in Plano this Saturday. Franchisees Trenton and Joy Hudson, who run the Uptown location, will celebrate the opening with free swag for the first 100 guests. Plus, dessert fans can enter raffles to win prizes frome the ice cream parlor.
The Dolly Llama elevates the ice cream shop experience with its menu selections.
From TDL:
The concept offers artisanal ice cream with a sweet twist… being paired with a fresh, warm waffle. There are two different types of waffles created at this shop, the traditional Belgian waffle or the aesthetically pleasing Bubble waffle that derives from Hong Kong. From there, guests can decorate their desserts with a scoop and a pile of toppings and sauces, allowing creativity to roam free! The options are truly endless!
The Plano shop will be located at 8400 Preston Road and will open at noon on Saturday.
