our church, in the East Lubbock community, at LISD, and
in other local organizations. We are proud to give back
however we can.

Sometimes we forget that this is a business. We have
to remind ourselves, “Okay, these are your customers.
Keep things moving.” But it is hard, because they
do not feel like customers. They feel like friends and
family. That is just how we have always run Tropical
Icy. With love. With care. With community in mind.

We are proud to offer quality products, and we
are just as proud of the relationships we have built
along the way. Tropical Icy has become more than a
summer tradition. It is a place where people feel seen,
welcomed, and appreciated.

People often ask us why we are still doing this after
so many years, and the answer is simple. There is
nowhere else we would rather be. This stand has given
us so much joy, and we are grateful for every person
who has come through that window. Every face, every
conversation, every memory. It is all part of the story
we have built here.
