I am a college student attending Missouri University of Science & Technology in Rolla, Missouri. I’ve grown up in Rolla and most of my life there’s been some sort of Tropical Sno dealer in town. Throughout high school, I became very good friends with the owner of the Tropical Sno “shack” as we called it. Working with him, I learned the ins and outs of the business. When I found out the owner was moving and not taking his shack with him, I expressed my interest in purchasing it from him. I was able to successfully buy it, and I now own the best-tasting and most successful shaved ice stand around. Tropical Sno has given me wonderful business skills and management experience as well as the money to pay for my college. I’ve been a part of two different blind taste tests where Tropical Sno consistently ranked higher than competing companies. I’m extremely happy and proud to be a part of a company that I know I can honestly call myself #1.
