Owners: Howard and Dwayne Hale
Location: Mobile truck
Opened: April 1
Service: This tropically decorated ice cream truck serves both shaved ice and prepackaged ice cream and aims to take the mobile ice cream business to the next level, explains co-owner Howard Hale. “You see all these ice cream trucks that are old and run down, with suspect people working them,” he said. “We’re taking it up a notch and providing something that wows you when you see it. It’s nice and clean and anybody who works on the truck is approachable. No parent would hesitate to send their child up to the truck by themselves.”
