"Create an Island of Aloha in Your Own Hometown"
Be your own boss with a Scandinavian Shave Ice franchise!
Scandinavian Shave Ice is a shave ice retail store that offers shave ice, ice cream, coffee, and Internet Café services. Scandinavian Shave Ice is a Kona landmark that has been located in the heart of Kailua Village for over 15 years. We are only minutes away from Kailua Pier, historic Hulihe'e Palace and Mokuaikaua Church. Often described as the best shave ice in Hawaii, we offer generous portions at reasonable prices. Owners Rich Pasenow and Melissa Ortega take pride in offering a traditional Hawaiian treat to our local customers, some of whom have been coming here since they were keiki, and our many visitors from all over the world.
Over the years, Scandinavian Shave Ice has been featured on the Travel Channel and in dozens of guidebooks and websites.
Scandinavian Shave Ice strives to provide each of its customers, employees, and vendors with a genuine Hawaiian Aloha experience. To us, this means treating people the way we like to be treated, respecting the traditions and culture of our adopted land, and being a positive part of the Kona and Hawaiian community. As we become part of communities outside of Hawaii, we want each Scandinavian Shave Ice to be an "island of Aloha" within the community.
As a franchisee, you will benefit from the same Hawaiian Aloha experience. From assistance in site selection, plan development, and concept implementation to fixture selection, operational guidance, and staffing guidelines, Scandinavian Shave Ice has the programs and professional staff to provide the knowledge and experience for the successful completion of your vision within the Scandinavian Shave Ice Franchise concept.
