Snow Cone Shop


Question Posted Monday February 25 2008, 6:35 pm

My family is letting me open a snow cone shop. I have been looking online and I found a website called hawaiianshavedice.com. It is really good, but that is like the only one I have found that I like. Do you know any other websites that sell snow cone flavors? I live in a rural part of the state (3 hours away from any city over a population of 40,000) so I can't really be making trips to get these things. That's why I need them mailed to me. I found a great ice shaver machine. Now what I really need is to figure out what I'm getting myself into. Any ideas of what I am doing? Lol. I'm looking a lot up, but I really need people's opinions on ideas for my first day. I need ideas for attracting people to the snow cone shop. Also I really need to what kind of theme should I make it. Like should it be a beach theme, a rainbow theme, or two solid colors. I have no idea what theme it should be. Please help!

Yaaay! I love snowcones!! There's a snowcone stand in my town and I'm there like every day! I don't know much about running a snowcone business, but here's an suggestion from a customer's standpoint: Our shop offers Small, Medium and Large. But I've always wished they'd offer a "Kiddie" size, because even the small is way too much for little kids. And sometimes even the grownups would like just a little taste. =]

Have fun and good luck!
