A Proven System
Our system is simple. We license our dealers to use our name and logo in their business and, in return, the dealer agrees to use the Tropical Sno products exclusively and to promote the Tropical Sno brand. We will never charge any fees, royalties, or blue sky.
Quaility Products

Powerful Brand
Tropical Sno is an internationally recognized brand that is federally registered and has a reputation for quality and service. Todays consumers are increasingly brand conscious, and as a rule, people trust a known brand over an independent establishment. Why? Consumers know that with an established brand they can expect consistent and reliable product quality and outstanding service.
Protability
Tropical Sno is protable! Cost of goods are typically 15-25% depending on the retail selling price. Start-up cost is less than $30,000 and the return on investment is typically achieved in two years or less. To become an Independent Dealer or order products call us at: 800-975-4766
To be successful in the shave ice business you must sell quality avors. Quality avors add value to your business, and demand a higher retail price. Most importantly, quality avors keep your customers coming back again and again. We offer a complete line of avors. Each avor has its own distinct real-to-life taste. When your customers order Strawberry it actually tastes like Strawberries. You can mix Banana and Strawberry to make Bananaberry or mix Tangerine and Mango to make Tangerango. The avor concoctions are virtually endless. Tropical Sno Flavors are packaged in convenient dry powder packs that are safe and inexpensive to ship and require minimal storage space. Most importantly, dry powder avors allow you to mix the avors as you need them and have a much longer shelf life compared to liquid concentrate avors. Tropical Sno avors are available in convenient one gallon and one quart packages.

Plus I make a prot on them and my customers gladly pay a higher price. I love our branded cups and spill stoppers.

Our initial hesitation with the branded Tropical Sno cups only lasted until we broke open the rst box and began using them. We noticed right away that customers were noticing us more and returning for purchases. Often we run into vendors who may sell a similar product at Fairs and Events, but customers know who to go back to once theyve received a top-notch product in a nice Tropical Sno cup!
