April 13, 201214 yr Now that I have your attention : An Oklahoma firm has agreed to buy Kentucky-based Dippin' Dots Inc. out of bankruptcy for $12.7 million. http://newsok.com/ok...article/3665878
April 13, 201214 yr Dippin dots guy has a whole new company today. Read that over at another site this morning, a kentucky company was saved though. That is good.
April 13, 201214 yr So I guess Dippin' Dots, the ice cream of the future, was a little ahead of its time?
April 14, 201214 yr I heard from the dipping dots guy that he saved all of his earnings and bought the company so he can proclaimed himself as the DIPPIN DOT GUY!
April 14, 201214 yr I think that when the park makes an announcement about Son of Beast, it should be made by someone dressed in a Dippin' Dots uniform.
April 14, 201214 yr I wonder what cut Dippin Dots got from every item sold in the parks/venues. They always seem to do good business. And $12.7 million seems relatively cheap, considering that the company owed about that much. Hopefully, the new owners can make the company profitable and turn things around.

Under the new ownership, the company would continue to pump out the dots from its 120,000-square-foot Paducah, Ky., manufacturing plant, which can produce more than 25,000 gallons of frozen dots a dayDippin Dots Hopes to Avoid Meltdown with Sale http://blogs.wsj.com/bankruptcy/2012/04/16/dippin%E2%80%99-dots-hopes-to-avoid-meltdown-with-sale/
