Midwest City’s resident snow cone icon, Tasty Snow, opened the doors to its flagship stand at Kiwanis Park, March 30. The opening marked the company’s 13th year in business and the unofficial start to the spring and summer season for Midwest City citizens. This year’s opening highlighted a brand new stand on its original location. The business expanded two years ago to the other Midwest City parks, Lions Park and Regional Park, the latter serving snow cones during last year’s Fourth of July festivities until midnight.
The Massey family has now been involved in the snow cone business for over a decade, and the new expansion shows they have no plans of stopping.
Customers are at the heart of the Tasty Snow mission. Every move they have made, they cite the customers as the reason behind them. The new building allowed for more space in order for employees to work more efficiently. The additions two years ago were because of the volume of customers at the single location. Being in more than one place creates bigger business and serves more customers more efficiently.
Having such a large following has allowed the Massey family to contribute to their community. Tasty Snow donated more than 3,000 snow cones to an event hosted by LifeChurch, and gave out coupons to churches to pass out to walkers in the city’s parks.
