Tikiz Shaved Ice & Ice Cream is a vibrant mobile franchise concept that blends the tropical delight of Hawaiian shaved ice with a selection of pre-packaged ice cream treats. Designed to bring a refreshing twist to any event, Tikiz serves up cool desserts at a variety of venues, from corporate events to community fundraisers and sports tournaments.
Launched in 2011 and based in Boca Raton, Florida, Tikiz started franchising in 2012. The brand quickly attracted entrepreneurs eager to introduce a fun, mobile dessert option to their local markets. The Tikiz offering includes an array of shaved ice flavors, allowing franchisees to quickly and efficiently cater to large crowds.
One of Tikiz’s most innovative features is its exclusive "Surv-Board," which lets guests customize their own fruity syrup combinations, creating a memorable and interactive experience that distinguishes Tikiz from traditional dessert trucks.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Tikiz Shaved Ice and Ice Cream provides comprehensive training to ensure that franchisees are properly prepared to operate their businesses. The franchisor structures the training to cover both pre-opening education and ongoing operational support. Here’s how the training is organized:
Tikiz Shaved Ice and Ice Cream offers franchisees a form of territory protection under their franchise agreement. Each franchisee is granted an exclusive territory that generally encompasses an area with approximately 200,000 people, based on U.S. Census data.
As long as franchisees comply with their obligations, Tikiz agrees not to establish, operate, or license another Tikiz business within the franchisee’s designated territory. However, Tikiz retains broad rights to operate or license other businesses outside the granted territory, including nearby areas.
They may also sell products and services under different marks or through various distribution channels that could reach customers inside a franchisee’s territory. While the territory is exclusive in terms of Tikiz-branded mobile units, the franchisor’s reservation of marketing rights means indirect competition is still a possibility.
