MADISON, Wis. – Bringing tropical tunes and cups of shaved ice everywhere it stops, Kona Ice is expanding in Monona and Madison. Introducing its distinctive blend of entertainment, gourmet frozen treats and FUN-draising, the Kona Ice experience is unlike any other in the area. Serving up good vibes in a cool ride, Kona Ice is now cruisin’ through Monona, Fitchburg, Madison, McFarland, Cottage Grove, Pierceville, Door Creek and Deerfield.
“My focus has always been my local community, and Kona Ice gives me an opportunity to make a great impact locally,” said Toni Baker, owner of Kona Ice of Monona. “I look forward to serving happiness throughout my community, while also making a positive impact through fundraising.”
Kona Ice’s escape from the ordinary begins as the sounds of tropical calypso music fills the air at each event and group gathering. The fun continues as all in attendance get their overflowing cups of freshly shaved ice and then help themselves to any of the ten tastes on the truck’s Flavorwave™, Kona’s innovative self-service dispensing system that allows for full customization. Guests also have the option to choose from the additional 20-plus flavors and 500 different combinations offered.
Dedicated to making a difference in local areas, Kona Ice continues to be committed to philanthropy in the communities it serves, raising more than $100 million in total donations nationwide since 2007. Baker is continuing the world’s largest food truck franchise’s tradition of donating thousands of dollars each year to local school groups, teams, and community organizations. Baker pledges to give back a percentage of the proceeds from each event she hosts.
“Toni shares our commitment to giving back,” said Tony Lamb, founder and president of Florence, Ky.-based Kona Ice. “She has always been very passionate about her community and wants to have a positive influence in the community, whether it’s new text books, sports uniforms or, simply, a smile. We are proud to have her on-board. Together, we are excited to make a difference in the lives of those around us.”
Beyond fundraisers, popular spots for the food truck franchise include stops throughout Monona and surrounding areas at fairs, festivals and corporate events.
