The Bus

A second life on four wheels.

Our baby-blue fun-mobile makes people smile. We built it by hand for one thing: serving frozen treats to gatherings of every shape and size. Rain or shine, April through October.

Origin story

The bus started life as a prison bus.

"If these walls could talk. This bus deserved a second chance too, and the adventure began."

We searched nationwide for the perfect vehicle for our concept. Many pre-fabricated food trucks were $100,000 or more, way out of our budget.

Detail of the vintage bus's original hardware, retained during conversion.

Late one night after a few libations and hours online, Zack discovered a State of Virginia corrections bus for sale. It had been used to transport people needing a second chance. It was a long shot, but we went for it and had it shipped to Minnesota.

There were sleepless nights waiting and wondering what would arrive on Irving Ave in Minneapolis. Then one morning, we got word: it was a few minutes away. We nervously waited on the front steps. When da bus came around the corner, we both looked at each other and smiled.

Filled with cages, locks, and pictures of girlfriends hidden behind the walls, ask to see our bus mascot "My Love", we thought, if these walls could talk. We knew this bus deserved a second chance too, and the adventure began.
