Kona Ice Franchise Model Overview
A Kona Ice franchise is a single branded truck, the Kona Entertainment Vehicle, that sells flavored shaved ice, blended drinks and ice cream at schools, youth sports, festivals, corporate picnics and fundraisers, where customers dispense their own flavors from the patented FlavorWave bar. There is no storefront; most owners park the truck at home and run bookings from a phone, so the investment is almost entirely the truck, bought new or used from the franchisor, plus titling, insurance and starter inventory. Royalties are flat annual sums that step up over the ten-year term rather than a percentage of sales, and the brand fund is a fixed yearly amount. The Managing Owner, who must hold at least 51 percent, has to operate the truck personally for the first 60 days before a trained manager can take over. The work is seasonal and event-driven, and more trucks require more franchises. The system is large, fast-growing and almost entirely franchised.
