Source design estimate includes ice, syrup, cup, spoon, spoon straw, and napkin; each 8 oz. cone uses approximately 2 oz. of flavor. Actual costs and results vary. Labor, event fees, insurance, equipment, taxes, and other business expenses are additional. Pricing is subject to change.

Using the brand requires a trademark agreement that protects the Snowie name.
The main requirement? Use Snowie flavors and follow our brand guidelines.
There are no royalties, franchise fees, or minimum purchase requirements.
A well run learning experience. It was insightful to see how the operation works during a live event. Everything was organized and the atmosphere was positive. I recommend attending!
An amazing experience and learned so much within 2 days. I’m coming brand new into the business so this expo meant a lot to me and learning my options and/or how to start on my own.
Definitely recommend, very educational, eye opening information. Great connections!
Excellent business/ training event! It’s great to hear from the best in the biz. Thank you!
Absolutely worth the trip! Would come again yearly, my business depends on experts. Glad to have found SNOWIE!
