Just after opening a new vintage ice cream parlor in a Crown Point strip mall, Dairy Belle will soon open its sixth location in Dyer. The 71-year-old Region institution, which has been serving scoops since it started in Hammond in 1950, is opening next to Pop's on U.S. 30 in Dyer, about three miles west of its existing location on U.S. 30 in Schererville. The Colao family, owner of Dairy Belle, is friends with Pop's owners, which led them to open next to Pop's Italian beef restaurants in Crown Point and now Dyer, Natalie Colao said. The new ice cream parlor in Dyer will be around 1,800-square-feet with indoor seating, an outdoor patio and a drive-thru. It will be the first Dairy Belle to occupy a newly constructed location, and it will be open year-round.
