Working mostly events but I did obtain a local business permit. I am also required to have a licensed commissary [a facility that has sinks for prepping and cleaning equipment]. I have found that Watermelon is the most popular flavor in my area, and I receive a lot of requests for Mango as well. I receive my Italian ice deliveries to a cold storage facility and use both that, as well as my home freezer, for overnight and weekend storage.

Since I work mostly at events, I have both a state business permit and I obtain daily permits as required by the event. Similarly, I am not required to have a sink or sanitation and hand wash station, but I do have water present for these purposes. In my experience, the most popular flavors are Cherry, Lemon, Mango and Watermelon. I sell my ice in multiple sizes, ranging from 3 ounces to 8 ounces, for reasonable prices.

I just wanted to drop a quick note. I have been selling the Ice the last 3 weekends and have already paid myself back for the two deep freezers and the first order of 40 cans of Ice. And I am into profit and still have a lot of ice left. Best decision I have made in a long time. Looking forward to doing more business with you.
