Alligator
Ice was developed in 1995 by Frozen Drink Concepts, Inc.'s Founder and
Chairman Gerald Smith. After spending several years in the frozen
dessert and beverage product/equipment industry, Mr. Smith saw a frozen
drink opportunity with convenience stores in the south central part of
the United States. The success he had with the premium Slush/Smoothie
and Cappuccino Flavors he perfected made it possible to expand into
other parts of the country.
In an
effort to help continue the growth of Alligator Ice, the company
was purchased by Russ Warner in early 2008. Until this point, Russ was
acting national sales manager for Alligator Ice. Russ is now operating
as President of Alligator Ice and has moved the company headquarters to
Wentzville, Mo. Founder Gerald Smith is still an integral part of the
Alligator
Ice team as Chairman of the Board. Gerald continues to put his
experience and knowledge of this
industry to work with the goal of ever improving our products for you,
our customer.
Alligator
Ice currently has thousands of retail customers supplied by
more than 70 distributors in 48 states. They sell over 25 Premium Slush
and Cappuccino flavors with retailers making 50% to 60% gross profit by
selling a 12 ounce Alligator Ice for $.89 to $.99. Alligator Ice also
offers “Alligator Ice On the Rocks”, a new bubbler
jet program and FCB and fountain syrup.
