In October 2014, at the age of 18 I (Aaron Grant) had the opportunity to purchase a slushie machine after a family friend decided to sell his. I intended to use this machine for personal use. This did not last long though, once family and friends saw my machine they bombarded me with messages about hiring or borrowing the machine from me. Not long afterwards, the opportunity to purchase two more machines presented itself. It was at this time that I sat down and had a chat with my Father Dale about potentially creating a business out of this, and that’s what I did.
In January 2015, the business was officially born and was originally named “Frosty Treats”. Not long later I was to make one of the biggest purchases of my life! 33 Slushie Machines… This was a huge risk, it could have been ‘the make or break’ of my business financially. This purchase came after a lot of consideration, and many hours talking to my Mother Sonia & Father Dale & close friend Sam. Mum was the one to suffer the most; her car was booted from the garage to make way for all the machines!! After a few months, I decided that hiring out 36 machines was quite time consuming and a little frustrating with all the cleaning and servicing so I decided to sell 27 of the machines (making a profit of course!).
During 2014, 2015 and 2016 I continued to hire out machines and established great working relationships with local schools & businesses as well as hiring to new clients for one off events. It was during 2016 that I started to get ‘itchy feet’ and felt that I needed to extend and diversify the company. After much research and discussion with clients and family, I decided to purchase a Photo Booth business. I would like to thank Lorna for her assistance and guidance throughout this purchase.
