Welcome to Snow Cone Road!

This site was built for three types of people in mind: People looking for fundraising ideas, small to medium businesses that are exploring other revenue streams, and the family that just wants to have something fun for the kids to enjoy at home.

In addition to my variety of snow cone machines you'll also find snow cone syrups, supplies like snow cone cups and straws, even full kits. This is a one stop shop for all things snow cone.

Each snow cone machine featured on this site will appeal to one of the above three groups. When considering a snow cone machine for purchase, I always recommend purchasing a unit over a rental. After your costs are factored in, even a smaller group of enthusiastic customers will help you recoup your investment back quickly. Owning a snow cone machine allows you to reduce the price you charge and gives you much more time to refine and improve your overall business plan.

Remember to contact me if you have questions, I receive a good deal of emails but this is my passion and I am happy to help.

Thanks for stopping by!
