Alsies is a modern ice cream truck concept that sells gourmet ice cream alongside nostalgic classics and character treats. Customers use a proprietary mobile app to track a truck in real time, request a visit to their location, receive nearby notifications, and book private events, turning the traditional neighborhood stop into a scheduled, tech-enabled experience.

Founded in 2020 by Travis Kososki in Chapel Hill, the brand began as a fresh take on the classic ice cream truck, pairing community routes with a mobile-first platform. It later formalized its operating standards, event model, and customer app into a franchise system designed to help owners run a consistent mobile dessert business.
