Bahama Buck's is a privately-held franchise specializing in snowcones and other frozen non-alcoholic beverages. The company is headquartered in Lubbock, Texas.

History

Blake Buchanan started selling snowcones in 1990 while attending Texas Tech University, as a means of finding another means of income which didn't involve "mowing grass or flipping burgers". With the help of his now-wife Kippi, father Tom (now Senior VP) and friend Eric Lee (now Bahama Buck's CFO) he opened his first franchise in Lubbock.

As of June 2007 Bahama Buck's operates 21 stores (18 in Texas and 3 in Arizona) with nine additional stores in the works. Except for stores operated by Buchanan all stores are franchised.

Operations

In addition to snowcones with over 93 original flavors offered (in a tribute to Texas Tech one flavor is called "Red Raider"), Bahama Buck's also offers smoothies, fruit cups, and specialty colas called "Bahama Sodas". Bahama Buck's also sells various Bahama Buck's-themed clothing.

Buchanan is a Christian, had formerly used a similar model as of the one used by Chick-Fil-A, meaning that all Bahama Buck's stores were closed on Sundays. Buchanan believed that one day away from work leads to happier employees, "and happier employees equal better snow".
