It has been said that the three most important rules in retail marketing are Location, Location, and Location. Selecting the right location for your Tropical Sno business is probably the most important decision you will make.   There are four primary location types in our system below is a brief definition of each location type.

Semi-Permanent Location - This is the most common type of location in the Tropical Sno system.  It is typically a portable building or mobile trailer that is place in the parking lot of a local retail outlet or shopping center.  The semi-permanent locations is usually open three to six months of the year and is moved off site during the winter. This type of location usually has a self contained water system and does not require any utilities other that power.

Permanent Location - This type of location is common in warmer climates where Tropical Sno can be sold from eight to twelve months of the year. This type of location can be a small roadside building or a leased space in a shopping center or mall.

Mobile Location - Mobile Dealers use a Tropical Sno trailer or cart and concentrate primarily on special events, fairs and festivals that last no longer than ten days. A mobile Dealer can literally move their business to where the people are. Mobile locations are also popular at attractions like amusement parks and family entertainment centers.

Co-Branded Location - The essence of co-branding is combining Tropical Sno with an existing successful business, like an ice cream shop, sandwich shop, pizza shop or other retail establishment.
