SYLACAUGA, Ala. – A great crowd gathered for cool treats on a hot day as Pelican’s SnoBalls held a Sylacauga Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony for their new location on W Fort Williams St.
Owner Andy Cox noted that he’s been looking to buy a building for his operation for quite a while.
“It’s like everything came together for us at the first of the year to buy this building and renovate it to suit our needs,” said Cox, “and one of the most popular additions is our drive thru window service.”
Cox worked at WalMart for 26 years before going out on his own with a Pelican’s franchise. He says it was a learning experience.
“Naturally, this is a peak time of year for what we do, but it’s our customers that tell us whether we stay open during winter months,” Cox pointed out. “We were busy when we opened this location in February, so we’re hopeful that will translate into solid year ’round business. The drive thru certainly helped earlier in the year.”
Andy told us that his most popular flavors are divided between sweet and sour.
“Blue Raspberry is our best sweet seller, and our customers love our Sour Tsunami just as much as a tart treat.”
