It looks like two new locations of a popular waffle and ice cream chain are headed to South Carolina.
According to the eatery’s website, The Dolly Llama will soon debut outlets in Myrtle Beach at 505b 9th Ave N and in Charleston. While the exact address for the Charleston location has yet to be announced, WMBF News reports that construction is underway for the Myrtle Beach locale.
Following the successful debut of The Dolly Llama in Mount Pleasant last November, owners Candance and Michael McNerny, who have signed a multi-unit agreement, are leading the Charleston location. Meanwhile, franchisee Liliana Vasquez will manage the Myrtle Beach site. Michael informed What Now Charleston that further details will be disclosed as plans develop.
Founded by Samuel Baroux and Eric Shomof in 2017, the inspiration behind The Dolly Llama came when Baroux met Dolly, a real-life llama, in the South of France. Enthralled with Dolly’s vibrant spirit, the founders decided that she would be the perfect mascot for their ice cream and waffle venture.
The Dolly Llama is celebrated for its fun and creative approach to desserts, offering a variety of indulgent treats like decadent milkshakes and bubble waffles, which are adorned with a variety of sweet toppings.
Keep an eye out for more information and updates on the grand opening days of these locations.
UPDATE: Initially, it was unclear if Candance and Michael McNerny were involved with the upcoming The Dolly Llama locations. However, Michael has since informed What Now Charleston that they will exclusively oversee the Charleston site, while Liliana Vasquez will manage the Myrtle Beach location.
