Let’s Eat Food Trucks ~ Shave Shop

 

 

You may have seen Clay & Kendall Hansford around Sulphur Springs or other local cities with their mobile shaved iced truck at an event or two since they opened. Now you can enjoy their shaved iced without the hunt.  With two Shave Shop trucks they are ready and able to attend special events, and park at their new spot at The Rail Yard.  The flexibility of having two trucks allows them to serve their customers in more ways than one.  With the addition of the a second truck Clay and Kendall are still able to participate in school fundraisers, where they give back to the school that books their truck as well as company parties, and events.  They hope that their spot at the Rail Yard, will give them additional visibility during the summer months while schools are no longer in session. 

When they started with the school fundraisers, the Shave Shop found that they have to abide by the low calorie snack rule and changed all the syrups to fit the needs of the new snack guidelines.  The best part about them attending a school event is that they give back 30% of their profits back to school.  Who would not want to host the Shave Shop at their next big school event.  

If you are not a school don’t worry the Shave Shop has you covered, for all your corporate events and parties.  Treat your employees to a cold summer treat or wow your guests for your next party by having the Shave Shop attend.

 
While it might seem like all fun and games, running a mobile shaved ice business it does take a lot of work and planning to adapt to customer needs and find the correct supplies.  They drive once a week to Keller to stock up on ice to fill up the deep freeze and be ready for all those events and parties.  They have even discovered on their travels new flavors to share with their customers, that will be coming out soon.  
    
Menu options will change and adapt based on location and event.  Be on the look out for new cream based flavors coming soon.  In the mean time stop by their spot at the Rail Yard to enjoy some fresh shaved ice.  I had the new cold brew coffee shaved ice and let me tell you, I’ll be back to order that one again.  It definitely hit the spot and I know the kids will want to visit soon.
