Sno-Cones OR Shaved Ice -Do you sell it? 05 Mar 2002 04:28 #25740

It sure seems like a natural, we all have these ice machines sitting here. A few pours of syrup and a cup and big profit. Let me know if you've tried it.

This will be our 3rd year selling sno-cones at the Skyline drive-in theater (Shelton, Wash.). One of the best purchases we ever made! I think we paid for the machine in just two weeks. We started selling sno-cones in the middle of the season when the weather was getting hot. I was sure surprised at how fast we were selling them! Cherry and strawberry flavors are the ones we sell the most.
We already have an ice machine so it seemed the natural thing to do was sell sno-cones. What ice you don't use that's still in the sno-cone machine you just let melt. You'll need a bucket to feed the drip hose from the machine to catch the water from the melting ice or you'll have a wet & slippery floor near the sno-cone machine.

Some of the other drive-in owners said it would hurt the inside concession sales, but I just thought it would bring in more sales. What's your opinion??

Why wouldn't you want to sell them inside the concession building with everything else though?

ttroidl OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 350 Thank you received: 2 Karma: 1	I'm looking into a sno Konette Deluxe for a Indoor theatre, I can get a nearly new one for under $400, But I will need a larger Ice maker I think... some days it's hard to just keep up with drinks!!! Where to put a larger one is an issue, and to pay the big $ for one as well.... Anyone else do them indoors? can't be much messier than the Loganberry on the floors! Tony.
