May 12, 2022 // Franchising.com // Dallas, TEXAS - The Dolly Llama has announced its expansion into Texas with its first location in Dallas. Located within the sought-after and growing Uptown neighborhood at 2817 Howell Street, Suite 210, The Dolly Llama will celebrate its opening on Saturday, May 28th with a community-focused Grand Opening celebration! Beginning at 12pm, the first 100 guests will receive a free Dolly Llama T-shirt and other swag items. Throughout the day, guests will also be able to score branded merchandise and enter to win giveaways and raffles for fun prizes!

The Dallas franchise will be run by husband and wife duo, Trenton and Joy Judson who combined more than 25 years experience in the restaurant and food service industries.

“We have a love of working with people and were immediately drawn to the Dolly Llama concept, not only for its delicious and unique menu items but also for the innovative design,” said franchisee Trenton Judson. “We’re confident that The Dolly Llama will be a hotspot for anybody with a sweet tooth in the heart of North Texas.”

“Franchising and expansion outside of our home market are our priorities this year and we’re beyond excited to kick it off with our Dallas, Texas location!” said The Dolly Llama co-founder Eric Shomof. “We can’t wait to open in the Dallas community and we hope the locals will fall in love with our Insta-worthy creations the same way we’ve found great popularity in Los Angeles.”

The Dolly Llama was designed to be a modern dessert shop where all guests can enjoy hand-crafted waffles and ice cream in a cool, hip and fun environment. The three Los Angeles and one Dallas location share an aesthetic flair and insta-worthy design features such as large neon signs, iconic llama footprints and bubble-waffle shaped prints along the walls, of which the franchised locations will also mirror.

The brand prides itself on offering authentic European flavors and techniques, such as Belgian waffles using traditional methods, and the Hong Kong Bubble Waffle prepared with a special batter that produces a unique crispy and custard-like texture. The three unique waffle styles -- OG Liege Waffle, Bubble Waffle, and Bubble Waffle Jr -- are the base of the interactive menu of ‘Top Picks’ waffle and ice cream desserts, ice cream waffle sandwiches, and a ‘Build Your Own’ menu, where customers are encouraged to “go nuts'' with unlimited toppings resulting in endless flavor possibilities and combinations. Signature Shakes are another over-the-top brand staple.

The Dallas, Texas outpost, located at 2817 Howell Street Suite 210, will be open Sunday through Thursday from 12pm - 10pm, and 12pm - 12am Friday and Saturday.
