Bringing tropical tunes and cups of fluffy snow everywhere it stops, Kona Ice is introducing Central Dayton to its distinctive blend of entertainment and gourmet frozen treats. The Kona Ice experience is unlike any other in the area.

“The communities’ first taste of our cool treats and colorful truck will keep coming back for more,” said Molly Eaton, the Oakwood resident and entrepreneur.

How it works:

  • Customer's receive a cup of freshly shaved ice.
  • They help themselves to any of the 10 tastes on the truck's Flavorwave™ (an interactive dispensing system in which individuals select from one or more of the flavors to pour over their fluffy snow) or the additional 20-plus flavors and 500 different combinations available.
  • A percentage of the proceeds from each stop are given back to local school groups, teams and community organizations

“It’s an opportunity to enjoy a unique, tropical treat,” Eaton said. “For a couple dollars, you can experience the excitement of the truck, flavor your own shaved ice, donate to an organization you care about, and kick back for a few minutes enjoying the sounds of the tropics. It’s an escape that everyone can enjoy.”

Nationwide, Kona Ice has donated more than $25 million dollars to community-based organizations since the launch in June 2007.

“Molly shares our commitment to giving back,” said Tony Lamb, founder and president of the mobile franchise. “Molly wants to have a positive influence on the people in her community, whether it’s new textbooks, sports uniforms or, simply, a smile. We are proud to have her on-board. Together, we are excited to make a difference in the lives of those around us.”

Beyond fundraisers, popular spots for Kona Ice stops in Central Dayton include fairs, festivals, corporate events, neighborhood socials, church events and birthday parties. The Eaton truck also maintains regular weekday and weekend routes.
