About Kona Ice
Launched in 2007 as a better alternative to the creepy ice cream truck, Kona Ice focuses on serving delicious shaved ice that attracts kids and adults alike with its colorful and eye-catching truck. Kona Ice brings with it a really fun atmosphere complete with the steel drum music of the islands, and unique and delicious flavors that keep Kona Ice devotees coming back for more. Giving back to the communities we serve is also a huge component of Kona Ice. Our company slogan is, "Shaved ice is what we do, giving back is who we are." To date, we have donated over $40 million to local communities. Whether it be through financial support for schools, youth sports, or the many other local charities in need, Kona Ice is proud to be helping improve communities across the U.S. Our 2017 partner for their giveback program is AdoptAClassroom.org. Kona Ice has been recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine's Franchise 500 List for five years running, rated the Top New Franchise in 2013, and regularly in the Top 25 Fastest Growing Franchises list for the last five years. Kona Ice has been consistently ranked #1 and #2 in Franchisee Satisfaction by Franchise Business Review. The Cincinnati Business Courier named Kona Ice as One of the Best Places to Work in 2015 and Entrepreneur listed Kona Ice as a Top Company Culture. As of May 2017, Kona Ice has more than 800 franchises in 47 states, and we expect to reach over 1,000 franchises by the end of 2017.
