Profitable Tropical Sno Franchise - 2 locations- Turnkey
Business Description
This Tropical Sno shaved ice business operates two seasonal locations in Fruitland and Weiser, Idaho. Tropical Sno is a nationally recognized brand known for its high-quality shaved ice and proprietary syrups. The franchise model is simple, flexible, and owner-friendly — NO FRANCHISE FEES, just a requirement to use approved equipment and purchase product directly from Tropical Sno.
The current owners purchased the Fruitland location in February 2024 and expanded by opening a second stand in Weiser during their first season. The business operates seasonally (April–August, plus select September events). An owner-operator could significantly increase profitability by working the stands themselves, increasing open season duration and being open on Sundays.
All the hard work has been done with the purchase of the expansion, equipment, leases set and more.
Operations:
• Seasonal: April–August (plus select September events)
• Fully staffed; owners do not work in the stands
• Employees managed and paid through Square
• Separate POS tracking for each location
• Ice is produced in-house
Assets & Equipment:
• 2 complete Tropical Sno shacks (1 mobile, 1 stationary)
• Exclusive Tropical Sno franchise territory (no franchise fees)
• Approved Tropical Sno shavers & equipment
• POS system (Square) with separate location reporting
• Freezers, signage, seating, menus, supplies, and inventory
• Approximately $1,500–$2,000 in product
• Training included
• Established social media presence & brand goodwill
Reason for Sale:
Owners are focusing their time and energy on another primary business and are not able to fully capitalize on the growth potential of this operation.
