Hi, my name is Jaylen Kile. I am from West Point and attend West Point-Beemer Public Schools. Let’s Get Tropical is a business owned and run by my family. We don’t sell snow cones, we sell shaved ice, there is a difference. There are currently 14 different flavors, but we are always looking to expand on our selection. Sugar free syrups are our newest addition.

So, how did Let’s Get Tropical get started? My family has had the idea for about five or six years. We had a lot of extra time from the quarantine that Covid-19 brought us, so we took advantage of it and got started. The first step we took was buying the 1967 Shasta camper that would house our business. The initial remodeling of it took us about a month. After that we painted it, got our machine, and started selling. We have served many happy customers and are looking forward to seeing what the future brings us
