Howdy! Paige Holleman here! 14 years ago I was working a corporate job & desperately needed a change. I wanted to work for myself, have more fun, make an impact on my community, but not be in life/death situations (like my stressful corporate world). My sons came home for elementary school one day asking if they could do some chores so they could earn $5 for Kona Ice the next day. Hmm...what could be so exciting that would make 7 & 11 year olds want to do chores?? I hopped online and found Kona Ice...the rest is history. We started our franchise on 12/18/12 with 1 truck, 1 territory. We now have 10 Kona Ice franchises (trucks/territories) and 2 Travelin' Tom's Coffee franchises. Living the dream!
