Hawaiian Shaved Ice Sand Springs

Ever wonder why some people call snow cones “Hawaiian Shaved Ice?” Well here’s a little history lesson for you. Shaved ice as we know it today was originally brought to America by Japanese immigrants to Hawaii. From Hawaii, it spread into the rest of the country. Hawaiian snow cones, or “Shave Ice” as they call it, are unique from snow cones in other parts of the world in that they have a scoop of ice cream in the bottom of the cone. Well now, thanks to Harper’s Hut, true Hawaiian Shaved Ice is in Sand Springs, Oklahoma for the first time!

Harper’s Hut is new to the snow cone industry and is already making great strides in becoming a game-changer for everyone involved. Less than two months after they opened their doors, they dethroned 20-year veterans of the Tulsa shaved ice scene and were named the “Best in the World” by the Tulsa World readers. What makes Harper’s so much better than everyone else? Their inability to settle for anything less than the best. When Will Nozak set out to start his company, he had a dream of being the best in the business. Not to make tons of money (though I’m sure everybody would enjoy that), but to provide an experience that too many people are missing out on today. Adventure, fun, and wholesome family bonding. Although authentic Hawaiian Shaved Ice is a Sand Springs luxury that can only be found at Harper’s Hut, that’s not the only thing that makes this new franchise so great.

Harper’s is unifying unique qualities from cities all across the world. Baltimore, New Orleans, and many other cities that are famous for their gourmet ice desserts are now not only being imitated, but being outdone by a small town business right here in Oklahoma. Hawaiian shaved ice is beloved in Sand Springs, but Harper’s didn’t stop there. They’re constantly experimenting in new ways to perfect the shaved ice game. If that wasn’t enough, they’re also providing the best environment possible to enjoy your delicious desserts with your friends and family. From games and movie nights to slip ‘n’ slides and snow ball fights, Harper’s is here to party. You can even book them for your own private parties! So locate the nearest Harper’s Hut stand to you and discover why a few years from now, Sand Springs will be famous in the world of desserts.
