A great crowd gathered for cool treats on a hot day, as Pelican’s SnoBalls held a Chamber ribbon-cutting ceremony for their new location on West Fort Williams Street.
Owner Andy Cox said that he’s been looking to buy a building for his operation for quite a while, “It’s like everything came together for us at the first of the year to buy this building and renovate it to suit our needs, and one of the most popular additions is our drive-thru window service.”
Cox was a 26-year veteran at WalMart before striking out on his own with a Pelican’s franchise. He says it was a learning experience, “Naturally, this is a peak time of year for what we do, but it’s our customers that tell us whether we stay open during winter months. We were busy when we opened this location in February, so we’re hopeful that will translate into solid year round business. The drive thru certainly helped earlier in the year.”
Andy told us that his most popular flavors are divide between sweet and sour, “Blue Raspberry is our best sweet seller, and our customers love our Sour Tsunami, just as much as a tart treat.”
