Haley King | Ice Cream Shop Owner

We are a homemade ice cream shop that originally opened in my hometown! I fully believe that this business would not have been as successful if it wasn’t for the community that I grew up in helping us get to this point. With that being said, our goal, as a business, is to give back to the community that built us! When your child needs to raise funds for their sport, or a fundraiser for a special cause, we want to be there to help and give back in any way we can because these are the people that support us and allow us to grow. We are very grateful and hope to do the same in any city we are in! Read more>>

I have always tried to always treat others how I want to be treated. Read more>>
