Well…after having to work out several kinks and having to push our opening date back a couple of times…we finally opened our Shaved Ice stand on Monday! 

My stomach was a little bit in knots as the time approached for us to meet with the health inspector to get our food license. But, indeed we are now licensed and open for business!!

Here…check out our set up:

Here’s a nice view of the concession trailer we bought:

We’re excited…and exhausted…and we’re open for business! Now we’re working hard to get the word out by running all over town handing out “Buy one get one free” coupons. 

This Gratituesday, I’m so thankful that after all of our hard work and dreaming and praying…we now have launched our new business. What a fun adventure!

    I know where I’m going to send the kids today… Do me a favor and tell me where you’re located. I’ll have Avon bring them over!

    Congrats on getting it up and running! May God bless you more than you thought possible through this exciting venture.

    My husband and I have been wondering about a side business, and then I saw this. We are in Iowa, by the way. Can I ask if you’re still doing it, and if you found it was a good thing for your family? Not sure how old your kids were at the time, but did that part work out ok too? Just wondering what God might have for us. :)

      It didn’t work well for us, mostly because we were trying to run too many businesses at once. I think it could have been good had we been able to spend the time needed. Our kids were all pretty little at the time, so I wasn’t able to give it much time myself. We still have our trailer…wanna buy it?! :)
