Alsies’s expansion to Dallas-Fort Worth will bring a modern take to the traditional ice cream truck.
Ice cream trucks have hardly changed since their inception over 100 years ago. A North Carolina-based chain is now bringing a revamped version of this nostalgic concept to Dallas, complete with app-based access.
With traditional ice cream trucks, the sound of its unmistakable jingle tends to be what draws patrons of all ages. Of course, if you do not happen to be outside at the right time, you might miss an opportunity to snag this classic street treat.
With Alsies, however, modern technology has been integrated into the old-school process.
After downloading their app, users gain access to real-time tracking of Alsies’ fleet. Alsies can send you texts when they plan to be in your neighborhood, and you can even set the app to notify you when a truck is in your vicinity.
Customers also have the option to contact a truck directly and request curbside service.
Alsies trucks stock plenty of selections, like cookies & cream popsicles, rainbow push pops, and chocolate French roast “gourmet sammies.”
The company released a press release revealing that franchisee Lauren McConaghy will bring six Alsies locations to the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
“We couldn’t be more excited about partnering with Lauren and her family to bring Alsies to Dallas-Fort Worth,” said Travis Kososki, founder and CEO of Alsies.
“Lauren’s experience and community focus make her the perfect partner to introduce our reimagined, technology-enabled ice cream truck experience to the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth area.”
McConaghy said she was attracted to the company’s “vision and unique approach.”
“I’m excited to bring this exceptional experience to Dallas and to reimagine the traditional ice cream truck experience through Alsies’ innovative tech platform while prioritizing quality, customer experience, and community connection.”
McConaghy’s franchises in DFW will represent Alsies’ first foray into the Lone Star State. The first trucks are set to hit local streets in early March.
