SoftServeTreats was founded in June of 2007 by Harold and Sandra Rye
when we purchased the Ice Cream Truck of a vendor in Tupelo, MS.
Intentions were to return a little nostalgia to the residents of the Hiawatha
Valley area. We feature "Frostline" Soft Serve ice cream that is non-dairy
and lactose and cholesterol free, Popsicle brand frozen novelties, Breyer's
Juice Bars, Root Beer Floats made with A&W Root Beer and more. We are
proud to offer world famous Nathan's Hot Dogs and Johnsonville Brats.
Most important, we deliver Fun for All!
Licensed in both Minnesota and Wisconsin we are available for parties and
other events in the area. Just give us a call at 651-764-1920 or 651-448-0340
to schedule your event for a visit by the Ice Cream Truck.

| Our Business |
An ice cream truck is a commercial vehicle which serves as a travelling retail
outlet for ice cream, usually during the summer. Ice cream trucks are often
seen parked at public events, near parks, beaches, or other areas where people
congregate. Ice cream trucks often travel near where children play — outside
schools, in residential areas, or in other locations. They usually stop briefly
before moving on to the next street.
Ice cream vans are often brightly decorated and carry images of ice cream, or
some other adornment, such as cartoon characters. They may have painted-
on notices, which can serve a commercial purpose ("Stop me and buy one!")
or a more serious one ("Watch that child!" - serving as a warning to passing
motorists that children may run out into the road at the sight of the van, or
appear without warning from behind it). Along the sides, large sliding windows
act as a serving hatch, and this is often covered with small pictures of the
available products, with their associated prices. A distinctive feature of ice
cream vans is their melodic chimes, and often these take the form of a famous
and recognisable tune, often a nursery rhyme melody.
Most ice cream trucks tend to sell both packaged Popsicles and ice cream bars
in wrappers, but some offer soft serve ice cream from a machine, served in a
cone or dish. Sundaes, Malts and Shakes are also available on these trucks.
In some locations, ice cream truck operators have diversified to fill gaps in the
market for soft drinks, using their capacity for refrigerated storage to sell
chilled cans and bottles. Many have also added Hot Dogs and other such
foods.
Whatever form the truck has, an ice cream truck has created fond memories
of childhood for many and it continues to bring excitement to our children
while hopefully creating those same fond memories for them.
