My guests on this episode are Wendy Spalding and Tim Troutman, owners of Kona Ice of North East Anne Arundel County.
Wendy and Tim were looking for a way to increase their income when they stumbled upon Kona Ice. After extensive research, the couple decided to go all in on the franchise, unknowingly right before the COVID-19 pandemic began. But, Wendy and Tim leaned into this unexpected challenge, and began connecting with the community. With the support of their corporate leadership, not only were they able to survive, but have grown their business to include a second truck as they head into their 5th season.
In our interview Wendy and Tim share why this Top 5 Franchise, which has donated over $150M to date, was the ideal fit for them and the community, who continues to embrace this classic Maryland iced treat.
