LAURINBURG — Kona-Ice is still open for business and they could be bringing some icy refreshments to a neighborhood near you.
“Residents can like and follow us on Facebook at Kona-Ice of Scotland and Richmond County and on Instagram @Kona_ice_ice,” said Stephan Crib, owner of the local Kona-Ice. “We post our schedules on these two pages.”
The trucks will be running in local areas when weather permits.
“We carry at least two sugar-free flavors on the trucks,” said Cribb.
“Our trucks carry our top 10 flavors, which are tiger’s blood, lemon-lime, blue raspberry, watermelon, grape, strawberry, cherry, cotton candy or (island rush), mango or (wedding cake) and pina colada,” added Cribb.
Kona Ice is offering four different sizes and the prices range between $3 and $6.
“Residents can go to www.kona-ice.com and select find a Kona,” said Cribb. “Here they can enter their zip code and put in their information which will generate and send us an email.
“If we have a large neighborhood that wants one of our trucks to come by we will post a link where the residents can pre-order,” continued Cribb. “They can select a delivery time and pay for the Kona’s in advance. This is called Kurbside Kona.”
The outside Flavorwave has been closed until further notice.
“We continue to thoroughly clean our trucks daily,” said Cribb, “And in addition to daily cleaning we have sprayed the trucks with Microshield which is a proprietary coating system that creates a self-disinfecting surface that works 24 hours a day.”
Kona-Ice is a welcome sight for many residents whether they be adults or children and is usually a main attraction at the Optimist ball field during baseball season.
Now, due to many parks and businesses closed, Kona-Ice is doing what it can to provide a new way for residents to get their fix of icy goodness.
