Kona Ice has Biggest Year on Record

The success of Kona Ice continues to snowball.

In the past 12 months, the brand added a staggering 142 trucks to its growing fleet of mobile gourmet shaved ice vehicles, raising the overall unit count to 600-plus trucks on the road in 45 states. The expansion and continued adoration of the beloved franchise has raised the brand’s giveback figure to an impressive $25 million.

“Since day one, Kona Ice has been committed to a higher purpose,” explains Tony Lamb, founder and president of Florence-based Kona Ice. “Our success is about more than our bottom-line. We got into this business because we wanted to make a difference. The growth and profitability of Kona Ice is what is allowing us to do great things. Our expansion is helping further our mission to “Flavor our World.”
