Kona Ice Now Serving Harlingen
Mobile Franchise Pulls into Harlingen; Local Entrepreneurial Couple Commits to Giving Back to Community Schools, Teams and Organizations
HARLINGEN, TEXAS – Bringing tropical tunes and cups of shaved ice everywhere it stops, Kona Ice is introducing Harlingen to its distinctive blend of entertainment and gourmet frozen treats. The Kona Ice experience is unlike any other in the area.
“The communities’ first taste of our cool treats and colorful truck will keep them coming back for more,” said Jacob, the local resident and entrepreneur who teamed up with his wife Cris to shift good times into overdrive in Harlingen with the launch of their new mobile franchise. “It will only be a matter of time before our Kona truck captures the hearts, minds and taste buds of the neighborhoods we serve.”
Kona Ice’s escape from the ordinary begins as the sounds of tropical calypso music fills the air at each event and group gathering. The fun continues as all in attendance get their overflowing cups of freshly shaved ice and then help themselves to any of the
ten tastes on the truck’s Flavorwave™ (an interactive dispensing system in which individuals select from one or more of the flavors to pour over their fluffy snow) or the additional 20-plus flavors and 500 different combinations available.
“It’s an opportunity to enjoy a unique, tropical treat,” added Cris. “For a couple dollars you can experience the excitement of the truck, flavor your own Kona Ice, donate to an organization you care about, and kick back for a few minutes enjoying the sounds of the tropics. It’s an escape that everyone can enjoy.”
Equally as appealing about the launch of Kona Ice of Harlingen is its philanthropic commitment to the communities it serves. The Valdez’s are continuing the mobile franchise’s tradition of donating thousands of dollars each year to local school groups, teams and community organizations. As they book events with these groups, they pledge to give back a percentage of the proceeds from each stop. Nationwide, Kona Ice has donated more than $35 million dollars to community-based organizations since the launch in June 2007.
