## Story

Local entrepreneurs Blake and Sarah Daniel are gearing up to navigate their vibrant, tie-dye 'Sweet Ride' mobile ice cream truck through the Anderson area and beyond. Set to become the life of any event, party, or community gathering, Frios will also be offering mouthwatering popsicles through catering, delivery, and exciting wholesale partnerships with local businesses.

Former healthcare professional, Blake Daniel, has spent a lifetime dedicated to caring for individuals at their lowest. Transitioning into the gourmet pop business may seem like a significant shift, but for Blake, it is merely another expression of his enduring mission to uplift others.

"Up to this point I have spent my life in the medical field caring for those who were often at their lowest. This led me to want to leave people happier than they were when I met them. So, when I saw an opportunity to pair my compassion for others with my love for desserts, I couldn't pass it up. After all, who isn't happier eating a dessert than they were before?" Blake Daniel said.

The Daniel’s decision to become franchisees was also heavily influenced by the camaraderie and enthusiasm they found within the Frios community.

As they begin operating their mobile pop business in the Anderson area, the Daniels look forward to serving their community and being part of the growth of the brand.
