However in 1962, Dolles succumbed to the \u201cGreat Storm\u201d.\u00a0 Only a few pieces of equipment were salvaged \u2013 most notably was the long 3500 lb. taffy machine which was restored and is still in operation today. \u00a0Once the new building was complete the now iconic orange Dolles sign was put in place for the first time.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">The current owner, operator of Dolles on the boardwalk is Thomas Ibach who took over after his grandfather, Thomas Pachides, passed away at the age of 92 in 1984.\u00a0 Mr. Ibach uses the same taffy, fudge, caramel corn and brittle recipes of his late grandfather.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Dolles \u2013 a true and loved landmark in Rehoboth Beach.<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Information and history of Dolles courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/dolles-ibachs.com\">dolles-ibachs.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong><em>Explore What\u2019s For Sale near the Beach:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #808000;\">\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/sellingdelawarehomes.com\/popular-delaware-areas\/in-town-rehoboth-beach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>In-Town Rehoboth Beach<\/u><\/a>, <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/sellingdelawarehomes.com\/popular-delaware-areas\/lewes-beach-de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Lewes Beach<\/u><\/a>,\u00a0<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/sellingdelawarehomes.com\/popular-delaware-areas\/dewey-beach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>Dewey Beach<\/u><\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/sellingdelawarehomes.com\/popular-delaware-areas\/in-town-bethany-beach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>In-Town Bethany Beach<\/u><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><b><i>There\u2019s nothing better than a beach vacation\u2014except actually living at the Beach!\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/sellingdelawarehomes.com\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><i><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Contact Us<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>\u00a0and let us show you just how easy it is to make the beach your home!<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Why We Live Here . . .
