Mannford Shaved Ice Machine
Harper’s Hut Shaved Ice | Mannford Shaved Ice Machine | Mannford, Oklahoma
If you got to experience the magic of Harper’s Hut Sand Springs last summer, and you haven’t been informed yet, then sit down because I’m about to make your legs weak with excitement. Harper’s Hut is now in Mannford! That’s right! The incredible experience that CEO William Nozak brought to Sandite country last summer has expanded to the home of the Pirates, as well as Glenpool and Sapulpa! The Mannford Shaved Ice machine is even faster than the one in Sand Springs, but don’t tell them that. What’s that? You’ve never heard of Harper’s Hut? Oh boy have you been missing out!
In June of 2014, William and Lindsay Nozak, along with their friend and business partner Daniel Nix, opened a shaved ice stand on a grassy strip of land in front of the Sand Springs Cinema 8 on Charles Page Boulevard. It was an immediate success, being declared the “Best in the World” by the Tulsa World readers in less than two months. Since then, we’ve added ice cream, cheesecake, and many more toppings to our selection, expanded our menu, improved the quality of our syrups, and bought a top of the line Mannford shaved ice machine. All of these developments have led to Harper’s once again being nominated for Best in the World for 2015, and you can vote for us here!
Harper’s Hut is more than shaved ice, however. In addition to having the best Mannford shaved ice machine, Harper’s also has the biggest love for its community. Harper’s has raised over $3000 a year through donations, fundraisers, and other opportunities for the cities we are a part of. We’ve hosted snowball fights, had giveaways, hosted a whole free snow cone weekend, and we just gave away hundreds of free snow-cone coupons to aid a local charitable run that will directly benefit nearby schools including Mannford. Add to that our weekly free family movie night we host every Sunday and you’ve got one dedicated business. Why do we do what we do? Because we’re not just a business. We’re a family. We believe in showing the love of Christ to the world through whatever means necessary. Harper’s Hut is more than just a great Mannford shaved ice machine. It’s a family with a love for our community that transcends all barriers. We want you to be a part of that family. We even want your dog to be part of that family, so bring him today for Doggie Day Wednesday and enjoy half off, plus a free dog treat!
So locate the nearest Hut and come meet some of the best people you’ll ever meet. Enjoy the music, try our flavor of the day, “Fruitasia,” or create your own snowcone. Hula hoop, throw a ball with your kids, draw on the chalkboard, or just sit at one of our shaded picnic tables and get to know somebody. You might just meet your new best friend there. I was once just a customer in love with the shaved ice, but the more I talked to the Harper’s snowristas, the more I fell in love with their personality and philosophy, until one day they offered me this job and made me one of the happiest men in town. Come be part of the magic and experience the best Mannford shaved ice machine around!
