ECONOMIC CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSES ICE CREAM MELTDOWN
Temecula, CA – They say, everything comes to an end. For the
end of marijuana prohibition that is a good thing, for the only Dippin’ Dots
Ice Cream parlor located next to Shakey’s in the Palm Plaza, it’s not so good. At press time, it would
appear that the local dessert eatery is kaput.
Opened in 2005, June, the ice cream of the future saw a
debut month that shattered existing opening month records much the way Best Buy did in
the days of the pennant flags. Over the years the business helped to put three
girls through local colleges and keep a roof over the head of the Afghanistan
family who owned it.
Now in its 25th year, the idea of frozen dots of
ice cream, sherbets, and ices has been knocked off, but for over 8 years
locally, valley residents were treated to the original until today. There does remain the remote possibility of corporate takeover. After
the jump we take a look back at when the First Dot rolled into town.
