Think of me as your franchise bestie with data.

Hey everybody, I am so excited for today's guest.

If you've been to a school event, a fair, carnival, many cities across America, you probably are familiar with a concept called Kona Ice.
2:42
This concept started about 20 years ago, sort of to replace the bad ice cream truck experience.
2:49
And we have our guest today, founder and CEO, Tony Lamb, And Kona has been lighting the franchise world on fire for the last 20 years.
3:00
Most importantly, and I want to underline this point, is Kona has managed to have the highest franchisee satisfaction in the industry, in the food industry in particular, and has topped our awards list, both in food and overall, for the last decade or more.
3:18
And, you know, that doesn't happen by accident.
