Breaking the ice

Описание: http://wright.edu/news Molly Eaton flips a switch and her Tropical Kona Shaved Ice truck – decorated like a tiki hut with painted-on palm trees and tropical fruit – comes to life. Steel-drum music of the islands (“She’s so beautiful they call her Sweet Tea”) and the prospect of icy, fruit-flavored cups of shaved ice have suddenly made it a party. “I turn the music on and start giving out shaved ice and I feel like it kind of transports people to a happier place – like a vacation state of mind,” said Eaton, who is necklaced with a purple and yellow Hawaiian lei. Eaton, who graduated from Wright State University in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership, is the proud owner of Kona Ice of Central Dayton. She and her husband, Brad, bought the franchise this summer, and Molly has used social media to get the business off to a flying start. The goal of Eaton and her husband is to buy more trucks and expand the business.
“We have always wanted to be small-business owners,” she said. “My experience at Wright State definitely encouraged me to see it as a possibility, something I could make happen. And here I am today.” More at http://webapp2.wright.edu/web1/newsro...
