- Overview
Rainbow Snow - Franchise
Known for its fun and funky shaved ice stand, Rainbow Snow has been a beloved American icon since the early 1980s, where one of the original shaved ice stands first captured the heart of CEO Eric Rasmussen in the Morningside neighborhood of Sioux City, Iowa.
After more than 30+ years, Rainbow Snow launched franchising and its one-of-a-kind shaved ice trailer, called the Arco Iris in 2024. Uniquely positioned to offer an accessible path to entrepreneurship, Rainbow Snow offers a turn-key shaved ice business model that appeals to entrepreneurs, three-season professionals, multi-generational families, stay-at-home parents, active retirees, and others looking for a fun and rewarding career option.
Rainbow Snow Flavor Com-BOWS!
Rainbow Snow’s shaved ice is made from a simple ingredient list: finely shaved ice and flavored syrup, making the product incredibly easy to store, prepare and serve. The menu features delicious flavors and our signature com-bows like Calypso Rainbow! This simplicity ensures that franchisees can quickly serve up delightful, refreshing treats in 'snow' time.
The Arco Iris
The name of the Rainbow Snow mobile shaved ice trailer is the Arco Iris for a reason! ‘Arcoíris’ is the Spanish word for ‘rainbow’ and it perfectly captures the friendly symbol we know and welcome once the sun parts the rainclouds!
Franchisees serve from the iconic Arco, which is designed for the modern age with off-grid capabilities and drop and go convenience. It is lightweight and environmentally friendly and towable by most vehicles including the Tesla Model Y.
