The Los Angeles-Based Dessert Waffle & Ice Cream Concept Celebrates its Grand Opening with Giveaway of Swag Bag Merchandise to the First 100 Customers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"TheMcAllen, TX\u00a0 (RestaurantNews.com<\/u><\/a>)\u00a0 The Dolly Llama<\/u><\/a>, the waffle and artisanal ice cream destination known for its insane and over-the-top desserts, will celebrate its Grand Opening and further expansion in Texas with its upcoming opening in McAllen. Located at 7600 North 10th St, #800 L<\/u>, within the Trenton Crossing Shopping Center alongside Target, Marshalls, Hobby Lobby and Petsmart, The Dolly Llama\u2019s newest location will debut on Saturday, March 4th with a community-focused Grand Opening celebration! Beginning at 12pm, the first 100 guests will receive a free The Dolly Llama swag bag of merchandise! Throughout the day, guests can also enter to win giveaways and raffles for fun prizes!<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ecstatic to be bringing The Dolly Llama\u2019s delicious waffles and dessert concoctions to the city of McAllen!,\u201d said Anna Gomez and Deborah Rios, co-franchisees of the Dolly Llama McAllen. \u201cWithin the Valley, people venture to McAllen to shop and eat, so we thought bringing a new type of concept to the area would be a perfect fit for the community and for us! Both of us have lived in the Hidalgo County area for over a decade, but we\u2019ve known each other for over 13 years. We knew we wanted to start a franchise together that fit our fun lifestyle, and once we found The Dolly Llama, the rest was history! We were instantly drawn to the fun and energetic atmosphere of The Dolly Llama after flying to LA to try the concept. Now here we are, preparing to finally open our own franchise that we instantly fell in love with from the beginning! We truly hope the locals, families and friends of McAllen love The Dolly Llama desserts as much as we do! Our favorites would have to be a warm OG Liege waffle with vanilla ice cream and an assortment of toppings (Anna) or the classic Dolly\u2019s Dream (Deborah), but guests will just have to come down to the Grand Opening to find their own favorite!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter seeing such success at our Dallas location, we knew that it was inevitable to be expanding further into the Texas market,\u201d said The Dolly Llama co-founder Eric Shomof. \u201cUpon meeting Anna and Deborah, their passion for building this franchise stood out and I have no doubt that this duo will bring in the crowd. With Anna\u2019s background in banking and Deborah\u2019s background as an entrepreneur and businesswoman, I\u2019m confident that the brand will be successful in this market and attract guests from around the state. We can\u2019t wait to celebrate the grand opening with the McAllen community and offer up a whole day of giveaways, because who doesn\u2019t love free swag with some ice cream?!\u201d<\/p>\n

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 concept\u2019s success can be, in part, attributed to its innovative and artisanal menu, but also the unique experience of visiting The Dolly Llama locations is what makes the shops a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike. The currently open seven locations in Los Angeles, Dallas, Jacksonville (Ponte Vedra Beach), Las Vegas and Orlando (Winter Garden) share an unparalleled aesthetic flair and insta-worthy design featuring eye-catching signage, our iconic llama and \u201cwanted\u201d llama prints along the walls, which the franchised locations will also mirror.<\/p>\n

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 two unique waffle styles \u2014 OG Liege Waffle, Bubble Waffle \u2014 are the base of the interactive menu of \u2018Top Picks\u2019 waffle and ice cream desserts, ice cream waffle sandwiches, and a \u2018Build Your Own\u2019 menu, where customers are encouraged to \u201cgo nuts\u201d with unlimited<\/em> toppings resulting in endless flavor possibilities and combinations. Signature Shakes are another over-the-top brand staple.<\/p>\n

The Dolly Llama currently operates three locations in greater Los Angeles, one location in Dallas, one location in Jacksonville (Ponte Vedra Beach), one location in Las Vegas and one location in Orlando (Winter Garden). The McAllen location is the second location to open as part of the concept\u2019s rapid expansion plan in Texas, and has plans to open two stores in Houston (Shenandoah and Pearland) within the next month. The Dolly Llama McAllen location will be open Sunday \u2013 Thursday from 12pm \u2013 10pm and Friday \u2013 Saturday from 12pm \u2013 12am.<\/p>\n
