Dippin' Dots and Kalahari Resorts announced a new partnership that will see guests able to enjoy the ice cream brand's signature treat on their next visit.
The partnership will see all Kalahari Resorts & Conventions locations stocking Dippin' Dots ice cream treats to satisfy guests of all ages with their signature taste and texture. The partnership builds on the position that J&J Snack Foods has at Kalahari Resorts, which already includes ICEE frozen drinks and soft pretzels from SUPERPRETEZEL. This is expected to build on guest confidence that they can enjoy their favorite snacks and treats from trusted brands on their next visit.
Vice President of Marketing at Dippin' Dots Kimmra Hingher spoke on the Dippin' Dots and Kalahari Resorts partnership saying, "We are proud to grow our partnership with Kalahari Resorts, a destination where families go to create lasting memories. Bringing Dippin’ Dots to all of their properties makes our ice cream part of that joy and reflects our focus on connecting with guests in the places they love most."
