Shaved Ice - FREE Shaved Ice Business Manual  - How to Make Money with Shaved Ice & Snow Cones - Operating Your Shaved Ice or Snow Cone Business  - The Season

The Season

Because shaved ice tends to sell better in warmer climates, the shaved ice season for each part of the United States will be different.

Shaved ice businesses along the southern part of the United States will generally be open from March to October. The mild winters and warm summers make states like Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona are great for lengthy shaved ice seasons. In fact, in some places, shaved ice businesses stay open year round because of mild winters.

In the mid to upper part of the United States, shaved ice businesses generally open between April to October. The farther north you go, the shorter the season. But with almost any rule, there are exceptions. After a little experience in the business, you will have a better understanding of your area.

There will be a couple of things that you will need to keep in mind to help you deciding on the length of your shaved ice or snow cone season. First of all, take a look to see when the other shaved ice businesses, if any, in your area open? We suggest to opening around the same time if not sooner than your competition. We have found that after a long winter’s break, customers from previous seasons are always eager to celebrate the new season with their first shaved ice purchase. The first three to four weeks of our season tends to always be the busiest.

In early spring, some businesses may begin to open only on weekends. After a few weeks, or until warmer weather sets in, these shaved ice or snow cone businesses often begin to open daily. This again will be up to you and your geographic area.
