WHAT OUR FAMILY SAYS
You don’t have to take our word for it — see what Sno Biz family members from all over the continent have to say!

Terri in Mississippi:
At the age of 15 I took my first job at Sno Biz in Ridgeland, MS. I enjoyed it so much that seven years later I purchased the store. I had no husband, no kids, and no real debt other than the loan I took out to purchase Sno Biz. That 1st year was the BEST year of my life! I was not really a morning person, so I loved being able to sleep late and work late. I was open from 1-9 Monday thru Saturday and closed on Sunday. My Sno Biz grossed over $70K that year. More than twice what I paid for the business, I was hooked!
– Terri & Mike Langham, MS Distributors

Mickey from Detroit:
I became interested in the Sno Biz product when on a family trip to Jackson, Mississippi back in 2003. There was a line wrapped around the corner of people of all ages waiting to be served something that I had to see. I ordered a rainbow Sno Biz and my tasted buds were satisfied and my entrepreneur spirit was ignited.
– Sno Biz Detroit, Mickey Ellis, Owner/Operator

Paul from Montreal:
I joined the Sno Biz family when I was in Beirut, Lebanon in 1999. The assistance I received from Tom and Kris helped me to understand the Sno Biz concept and I was able to take that knowledge to develop Sno Biz in Eastern Canada in 2002. You don’t need a big space to make big profits with Sno Biz.
