Big Dipper Ice Cream Wins National Acclaim
Big Dipper ice cream may be big news in Missoula and Helena, but the homemade Ice Cream joint has been making news outside of the Big Sky State too. In the past, Big Dipper has been noted as one of the "Top 50 parlors in the United States" by USA Today. But a recent article on Yahoo Travel by Food&Wine placed Big Dipper third on a list of the top ten. KGVO News decided to give the Big Dipper a call and find out what all of the fuss is about. General Manager Brian Hickey explains why he thinks the little Ice Cream stop is making the headlines.
Hickey mentioned that business has already picked up and that he expects business to really start booming when the tourist season heats up.
