==History==
The company of Dippin' Dots was officially founded in the town of New Grand Chain, IL (referred to by locals as simply "Grand Chain") in 1988. Jones began the company in his parents' garage.〔 The company is now headquartered in Paducah, Kentucky.〔 Because the product requires storage at temperatures below , it is not sold in grocery stores, which cannot provide such extreme cooling requirements.〔Stech, Katy. ("Dippin' Dots Tries to Avoid Meltdown " ). ''The Wall Street Journal''. November 5, 2011〕 Dippin' Dots are sold in individual servings at franchised outlets, many in stadiums, arenas, shopping malls, and in vending machines, as well as at theme parks such as Schlitterbahn, Six Flags, Cedar Fair, PARC Management, Kennywood, and SeaWorld.
In 1992, Dippin' Dots acquired a patent on its ice cream and, in 1996, sued its main competitor, Mini Melts for infringement. In 2007, the Court ruled against Dippin' Dots because the process of creating the ice cream was "obvious" rather than proprietary, and ruled the patent unenforceable because Dippin Dots had sold the product commercially for over a year before applying for the patent.〔Kingson, Jennifer A. ("In the Lab With the Ice Cream Makers" ). ''The New York Times''. July 19, 2011〕〔("What Went Wrong? Dippin' Dots: Why the USPTO Invalidated Its Patent and It Now Has Two New Competitors ). www.dippindots.com. Part 4: Managing and Growing an Entrepreneurial Firm. Page 392〕
On December 19, 2008, the company announced that it was exploring the option of combining resources with another, unknown company. The spokesperson for the company stated "Dippin' Dots will continue to take orders and ship product as we have for the past twenty years".
