The next era of Rainbow Snow is here—and we’re inviting you to be part of it. After nearly 40 years of delighting communities with iconic shaved ice, we’ve reimagined the business for today’s entrepreneurs and are building a coast-to-coast franchise community. Now, as momentum surges nationwide, we are doing something we’ve never done before.
We’ve reserved a special investment round for our early believers, and you can join us on Wefunder right now.
This is your chance to own a stake in Rainbow Snow’s next chapter. Whether you're a longtime fan, a future franchisee or a frozen treat enthusiast who believes in joyful business—this opportunity is for you.
When our Co-Founder and CEO Eric Rasmussen first discovered Rainbow Snow was for sale, it felt like uncovering a treasure from another era—one filled with joy, color, and pure community magic. He didn’t know much about its history at the time, just that the brand had meant something to him as a kid. It was a part of his childhood and when the chance to bring it back came along, he and his wife Ali couldn’t resist.
They brought the original trailer home with their kids in tow—thinking it might be a fun little project. But the more he dug in, the more he realized this wasn’t just a hobby. It was a real opportunity. The model worked. The nostalgia resonated. But most of all, it had the potential to empower a whole new generation of entrepreneurs.
And now, we’re ready to share it—with the people who believe in joyful business, community connection, and Main Street success.
To bring you into that journey, we created a video that shares the heart behind the business and the vision we’re building together. It captures where we’ve been, what inspired us to bring Rainbow Snow back, and where we’re headed next. Watch it here, and if it sparks something in you, we’d love to have you join us on this journey.
Rainbow Snow was born in the early '80s and grew to over 150 locations. Now under new ownership, we’re revitalizing the brand for the next generation of mobile entrepreneurs. After building the infrastructure, launching our franchise offering, and attracting more than 130 active leads across the country, we’re opening a reserved investment round for early believers.
Here’s what makes this moment so exciting:
Iconic, nostalgic brand with nearly 40 years of history and community love
Startup costs 70% lower than industry competitors—franchisees can start faster and smarter
136 qualified franchise leads ready to activate across the country
Fully operational system with a registered FDD, optimized supply chain, and built-in marketing
A one-of-a-kind Arco trailer that’s lightweight, off-grid, EV-towable, and turns heads at every stop
$30B+ frozen dessert industry that’s booming with opportunity
