Hawaiian Paradice is a family owned and operated shaved ice and concessions business. A trip to the Hawaiian Islands in June of 2013 left us craving shaved ice (or ‘shave’ ice as the islanders say). Within eight weeks of our return to Georgia, we created a business name and logo, purchased a trailer, developed recipes using the same concentrates that 98% of the Hawaiian based businesses use and started selling shaved ice on a street corner in Powder Springs, Ga.

In 2016 we were invited to run the concessions at the Oasis Water Park in Cherokee County.

The addition of these locations expanded our shaved ice business to five sites and an average of 18-20 employees. Continue reading here:
