Do you need a Franchise?

We are asked all the time whether or not a franchise is needed to operate and operate a shaved ice or snow cone business. Our answer is NO! We feel that almost anyone, if they work hard enough, can have a successful shaved ice or snow cone business without franchising. Our company does not sell franchises nor do we require contractual agreements to be signed by our customers. There are no special fees and no territories to buy. Also our prices are not artificially inflated to collect a “franchise” fee. You can buy directly from us and sell under any name that you choose, even Hawaiian Shaved Ice, the most common name used.

By owning your business independently, you will have better control over your prices, your product line and business management. Often franchisers will only let you sell certain products or require your location or business to meet certain requirements. You may have to pay yearly franchise fees or even a portion of your sales to the franchiser for the right to operate under their brand name. In addition, we have found that many of the franchise companies require you buy almost all of your supplies through from them at inflated prices. In then end, most franchisers profit double from your business.
