Selling shaved ice from your very own, self-contained concession trailer gives you the freedom to go where the crowds are. We offer turnkey, mobile trailers that are fully equipped and ready to serve (see trailer photos). Just hook one up to your pickup, drive to a fair, festival or event and you're in business!
Once you own a trailer, you're free to earn money selling snow balls / shaved ice / snow cones as you please. Work special events, run a route, sell seasonally; it's your decision because YOU are the boss. Naturally, there are no franchise fees either.

Own A Shaved Ice Business With Tropical Sno, Not A Franchise
Tropical Sno is dedicated to helping each and every one of our dealers find success and achieve their business goals. Let us help you realize your dreams and have fun while doing it.
Tropical Sno is a very exciting and fun business venture. My husband and I were searching for the perfect income supplement for our family to save for future college and extras. It is a great business for me to manage and still stay home with my children. This awesome brand has been a summer favorite in my town for over 20 years. I'm the proud owner of the original hut. My first summer flew by and at times, was a challenge to keep up with the demand for the delicious treat. Many customers told me personally how happy they were to see Tropical Sno come back to the community. This product is the best out there from the shaved ice to the unmatched flavors. I only have one year under my belt, but I hope to be a part of this business for years to come.

I am a college student attending Missouri University of Science & Technology in Rolla, Missouri. I've grown up in Rolla and most of my life there's been some sort of Tropical Sno dealer in town. Throughout high school, I became very good friends with the owner of the Tropical Sno shack as we called it. Working with him, I learned the ins and outs of the business. When I found out the owner was moving and not taking his shack with him, I expressed my interest in purchasing it from him. I was able to successfully buy it, and I now own the best-tasting and most successful shaved ice stand around. Tropical Sno has given me wonderful business skills and management experience as well as the money to pay for my college. I've been a part of two different blind taste tests where Tropical Sno consistently ranked higher than competing companies. I'm extremely happy and proud to be a part of a company that I know I can honestly call myself #1.
The Best Snow Cone Machines, According To Experts
Tropical Sno has been in my small community since 1994 when my son was a preschooler. We were customers for several years. In 2002, my husband & I purchased the business. It has been great for my family & our community. It gave my son a summer job that helped with college expenses. Several teens in our small community got their first work experience at Tropical Sno. Many of these young workers are like family to me. Many of them are now bringing their children for shaved ice. The flavors are top quality, true to life fruit flavors. We have so many loyal customers. They ask all during the off season when we will be opening for the next season. Tropical Sno products are easy to order from the corporate office in Utah. If you have questions, there are dealer relationship managers that will help get you started. As I stated earlier, I am from a small community & will be opening for our 15th season in 2016. We do well but if you want to travel with the business to where the crowds are--you can make a lot more money.
The upcoming season will be our 19th fun filled year as a Tropical Sno dealer. No matter sun, rain, snow or ice opening day in mid April, it is a major event in our small town and our loyal customers are there to get their ‘fix’. We have many great memories and stories. We are told - and believe - that the Tropical Sno flavors and ice are the BEST. Our customers come from miles around to visit us. The young customers in 1998 are now proud parents and look forward to take pictures of their babies having their first experience with Tropical Sno. Pregnant women love Tropical Sno and several have even stopped by on their way to the hospital. It has been a pleasure to work with the staff and we look forward to many more years as a Tropical Sno dealer.

I have wanted to own a stand since I was 12 years old, just like our local Sno cone lady Mrs. Wall. She was my Inspiration. I have worked for a major Cell phone company for years in management. Last year after my Mom was diagnosed with cancer and dementia, I decided to live life my way. Life is short. I quit my job, and bought an Elite Building... I traded my old life in for a whole 'nother world...got me a pirate flag and became an island girl! Tropical Sno is enabling me to live the life I want - not the life the world expects. Everyday I fly my pirate flag to remind me of the freedom I now have with Tropical Sno, and I fly the American flag to remind all who walk up to our shack: Someone died for their freedom. My boys, ages 20 and 16 are learning life lessons they will not learn in school. How to run a business... It's a beautiful thing. Thank you Tropical Sno for supporting my dream.

I became involved in the Tropical Sno business because I had a friend in college that worked at a Tropical Sno in Kansas. I was instantly intrigued by its relative simplicity and obvious success with how busy the location was. I immediately knew there was opportunity in Phoenix, AZ. My favorite part of the business is the overall flexibility and ability to develop the business my way and always offering a high quality Tropical Sno product. It’s what keeps us in demand! I look forward to my little girls growing up knowing and understanding the business.
I enjoy the money making aspect of course; but the no franchise fees and high quality product and service make this a great opportunity. Networking with other dealers is always enjoyable and the on-going development of the brand and support I receive is fantastic. I own a JR. Gazebo and a 5’ x 8’ open air kiosk.

Our favorite part of the business is being in charge of our own destiny. Managing our own hours is paramount. Working alongside your best friend is awesome! Such a fun product to serve, customers immediately turn happy, and its rewarding to see! We knew the Tropical Sno product was a hit at the location we worked at in Kansas City. We later decided to move to Southern California, and the challenge was
