Franchise owner Ann Threet has been serving Dippin' Dots Ice Cream for over 14 years at fair and festival events state-wide, including the New Mexico State Fair. Eleven years ago, Threet opened her first Dippin' Dots store in the Coronado Shopping Center and is now scheduling the debut of her second store in The Shops on Mainstreet in Los Lunas.

"I am proud to be a part of Dippin' Dots," Threet said, "and I thank Albuquerque for 11 great years. I hope to have as many quality years in Los Lunas."

Threet's Los Lunas location will feature more than 20 flavors of Dippin' Dots ice cream, sherbet, yogurt and ice. In addition, the new store will offer Dot Delicacies, a product line that includes Dippin' Dots ice cream cakes and Dotwich ice cream sandwiches. Dippin' Dots Dot Delicacies were awarded the International Dairy Association's "Best in Show" award for excellence in the dairy field.
