Misrad Habriyut Needs Dollar Signs!

What was holding up our shipment of syrup? A lack of a $ sign!

Misrad Habriyut didn't release our latest shipment of syrup until today because they wanted to know why one of the invoices from our supplier in the States didn't have a Dollar sign. They wanted assurance that the amounts were really dollars. So on President's day, I reached my contact in the U.S. through Facebook (his office was closed) and he sent a letter assuring them that they only deal in Dollars. Dollars and dead Presidents :)

I'm not sure what this has to do with the Health Department but this latest shipment of Freezee is now on the way to our warehouse.

Chill With a Freezee!!!

This little Freezee drinker just started to crawl last night. I guess we are going to have to hide the boxes of Freezee cups or else!
Written by a proud Poppy :)
Now what should we do as a special for Purim next month? How about giving away free Freezee cups at our office for anyone to fill up at our local Freezee location? Add a free coupon to the cup, stick in a wafer and a candy and you have the perfect Mishloach Manot!

STAY TUNED

Freezee in the Jerusalem Post

New Year - Freezee are Expanding

Everyone is sending around Shana Tova wishes. Why not me? Well, I wanted to do it in style and have a FREE Freezee day in honor of the new year. Then I thought about all the wonderful things that have my glass more than half filled and decided to pick the most recent major addition and make a Freezee day for her.
My new granddaughter! Wow! That makes me sound old. I still feel like I'm 25.
Yes, Tsofia, who is just one month old, deserves a special Freezee day. I'm going to convince my wife and my partner that we should have FREE Freezees in her honor and invite all our family and friends to one of the Freezee locations to enjoy a free Freezee.
In the meantime, Karen, with Fran's help, developed a new landing page on our Facebook "freezee israel" spot. Go there and let me know what you think. Once you sign up and also click like on the page, you will find out about FREE Freezee days and other specials that we will be running. You will also have an opportunity to win T-Shirts and other "stuff".
So, have a Shana Tova from all of us at Freezee and may your cup be overflowing like a Freezee!

Pizzeria Efrat Becomes a Super Freezee Location!

I can't believe that it has been two months since using Blogger to keep you up to date on the excitement at Freezee!
Today we installed a machine in Efrat! Thanks to the Goodmans who own this great pizza store, the machine is self serve. What a hit that makes. People love to fill their own cups! You can mix flavors or be a purist and pick one of the three flavors to fill your cup up to the very top. Even the kids have been quite neat about filling the cups and it's sure much more fun!
Pizzeria Efrat must have sold about 100 cups today! I left after about 2 hours and watched about 40-50 cups get filled. One kid even came back - he wanted more - and gave another 10 shekel to refill his cup and walked back out.
I posted a few pictures on the Facebook page. If you know any of these people let them know their pictures are on Facebook.

3 New Machines

So many things are about to come together and yet I'm spaced out. Why you ask? Well, I just had surgery and they tell me it will take a day to recover if I was a kid. However, adults usually take two weeks off from work to recover! How can I take off when there are 3 Freezee machines arriving today in Ashdod?
There has been more demand for machines from a couple of store owners but the best would be to convince a large chain to put them in all over the country! I'm tempted to start telling people to ask at a certain chain "when are you getting a Freezee machine?" "How come you haven't ordered one?" "Don't you know how great they are?" People have been coming from all over to Modiin's little Kaiser neighborhood just for a Freezee. The resulting feedback is great! They love the Freezee drink.
Let's see what you guys think. What would be the best hang out pizza store to convince to put in the machines?
Do you know what's really cool. Giant Pizza in the Givatayim Mall wants to put one in and make it self serve just like in the U.S. That way you can get the flavor mixture you like best!
I hope to write more once all the anesthesia gets out of my system.

Freezee Coming to Jerusalem

Just ran into my wife's cousin's son and his wife at a wedding in Jerusalem. They are from the U.S. and asked about the Freezee. (They had heard about the write up in the Jerusalem Post.) When I told them we are bringing it to Jerusalem within 2 weeks they got excited. The one thing they missed coming to live in Israel was their Slurpee at 7eleven and now with the Freezee in Israel...
Can't wait to see the machine working in the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem!
