A Deliciously Different Ice Cream Store Franchise!
Welcome to a franchise opportunity that can only be described as "deliciously different." With a history and tradition dating back to 1936, Stricklands has been a thriving, dynamic business in the greater Akron, Ohio area for generations. Our award-winning homemade ice cream is legendary and unlike any other ice cream in the industry.
di’lishi is the creation of Marlo Francis from Asheboro, NC. Her first experience with frozen yogurt came after her son told her about discovering the self-serve concept in a neighboring state when he left for college - and he was eager for her to try it when she planned her next visit. Before that could happen, though, Marlo happened upon a bar for herself, while travelling to a larger city near her hometown. After several repeat visits - including eventually traveling to see her son and trying the yogurt bar in his college town, it didn’t take long before she began dreaming about opening a shop of her own - one that reflected her unique interpretation of the concept. She wanted to create an environment that invited people to come in and stay awhile. She wanted to serve the finest yogurt and toppings that she could find, as well as a way to regularly contribute to the community around her.
