Kona Ice Now Serving Lawrenceville

Bringing tropical tunes and cups of fluffy snow everywhere it stops, Kona Ice is introducing Lawrenceville 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 Glenn Mullison, the local resident and entrepreneur, who along with his wife Carol, is shifting good times into overdrive in the Lawrenceville area with the launch of their new food truck 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 Carol. “For a couple of dollars you can experience the excitement of the truck, flavor your own shaved 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 West Lawrenceville is its philanthropic commitment to the communities it serves. The Mullisons 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 $40 million dollars to community-based organizations since the launch in June 2007.

“Glenn and Carol share our commitment to giving back,” said Tony Lamb, founder and president of the mobile franchise. “They have a positive influence on the people in his community, whether it’s new text books, sports uniforms or, simply, a smile. We are proud to have them on-board. Together, we are excited to make a difference in the lives of those around us.”

Beyond fundraisers, popular spots for Kona Ice stops in the Lawrenceville area include fairs, festivals, corporate events, neighborhood socials, church events and birthday parties. The Mullison’s truck also maintains regular weekday and weekend routes.
