BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Kona Ice 'shaved ice' Franchise Territories, and 2 Trucks

Live Your Dream of Spreading Joy and Delight!

Imagine pulling up to a school campus for a fundraiser as the students sprint to the truck, excited to add their favorite flavor combo to their Kona? That is what you're in for when you buy these 2 Kona Ice franchises!

Where are you headed?! This is your chance to be a part of a well-established proven franchise. Ours has been growing for 12 years.

Our Kona Entertainment Vehicles (KEVs) are specially designed to serve premium ‘shaved ice,’ low sugar nutritional products, and a variety of proprietary flavors, serving quickly and efficiently. Each KEV (Kona Entertainment Vehicle) is capable of comfortably serving 300-400 Konas/HR, allowing you to serve large scale events (festivals, employee picnics, etc).

Bringing smiles, making friends and being part of your local communities is a great way to make a living. That’s exactly what we saw in the Kona Ice franchise back in 2012. Since then, we helped to grow the Kona brand locally through grassroots efforts working with 40+ schools, sports leagues, etc. Our franchise established relationships with small businesses to large corporations (Amazons, etc). With the brand expanding so rapidly, in 2015, we purchased our 2nd franchise/KEV/territory serving a population of 200,000 in 4 cities (Moreno Valley, Riverside, Grand Terrace and Calimesa). The next phase of growth is yours!

The KEVs are colorful and state-of-the-art, are self-contained and serve as a mobile billboard. Equipped with outdoor speakers, they play proprietary calypso style (steel drum) music. Most events require only one person to operate each unit, allowing for low overhead and strong profit margins. The Kona Ice brand is well known for its ‘Nutritious and Delicious’ ‘tropical shaved ice’ with numerous flavor options. The 1st Kona franchise began in 2007 on the East Coast, and is now in 49 states. Although under the umbrella of a national Corporate brand, each franchise is independently owned and operated, with opportunity for continued growth.

We operate as our own Category 4 Riverside County approved commissary. Allowing our vehicles to be kept inside for easy maintenance and loading/unloading of product.

Note: The attached video is good information and may answer a lot of questions. However we do NOT sell ice cream, the franchises for sale here only sell shaved ice.
