Where Did Kona Ice Originate?

The Kona Ice company was founded in Northern Kentucky in 2007 with a simple idea: reimagine the classic ice cream truck experience with something more fun, engaging, and refreshing. The founder envisioned a colorful, inviting shaved ice truck business that would delight customers of all ages. Today, Kona Ice has grown into a successful food truck franchise, bringing joy to communities nationwide.

What is Shaved Ice?

Shaved ice is a frozen dessert made from ice that is shaved into thin, delicate flakes, creating a soft and fluffy texture that melts in your mouth. Flavored syrup is then poured over the ice, resulting in a mouthwatering treat. With Kona Ice, our patented FlavorWave® lets you choose and mix your favorite syrups for a completely customizable dessert. Learn more about the history of shaved ice
