After a recent trip to Hawaii's Dole Plantation (on Oahu) where we had Dole Whip, DH and I also found it at several small (really small) snack stands on the island. I got the idea that it would be fun to start a Dole Whip concession stand here in HOT HOT Sacramento. I tracked down the product which is a non-dairy mix that you put into a soft-serve ice cream machine. There are several other fruit flavors as well as vanilla/fruit swirl. The product is made by Dole and distributed by Precision Foods. Unfortunately when we contacted the Precision Foods' rep for our area, they were very unknowledgable and unhelpful. Most disappointing was that they do nothing at all to market the product and yet are completely unable to understand the need to offer a protected territory to a small retailer who would be investing in equipment and advertising. So ultimately we had to give up the idea. But if you are already a snack retailer and have an ice cream machine, you can order the product and sell it, as long as you don't mind the guy down the street also getting your idea, piggybacking on your advertising, and competing with you. Oh, and if you do start to sell it in Sacramento, let me know and I'll be your first customer.
