Freezing Moo presents a new trend in the frozen

dairy industry. Referred to as “hibachi for ice cream,”

Freezing Moo is an experience for the senses, with its

delicious flavors and aesthetic appeal.

This ice cream is a step above the rest as only the

freshest, most wholesome ingredients are allowed:

milk, cream, cane sugar, and fruit. There are no chemi-

cals or preservatives.

Everyone in the Freezing Moo family aims to bring

a taste of joy and a fun experience to all who visit

Freezing Moo’s locations — one cup at a time!

Freezing Moo is modeled after a style of made-to-order ice cream that originated with a street vendor in Thai-

land. The first Freezing Moo location opened in December of 2016 in Overland Park’s Deer Creek shopping

center. Freezing Moo is the first shop using this serving style in Kansas City.

“They have these all over Asia, but mostly as street vendors,” says co-owner Truman Yeh, who grew up in Hong

Kong. “People enjoy the freshness of the ice cream with the fresh ingredients mixed in. Using our chain-store

background, we aregoing to package Freezing Moo. But we’re not just marketing a product, we are selling an

experience.”

Yeh opened Freezing Moo with his partners, Tommy Tang and Amy Su. Yeh and Tang have successfully operated

the GB Chinese fast food restaurants inside multiple Hen House Markets for approximately eight years.

CONSISTENTLY ENJOYABLE FAMILY OUTINGS

Watching from behind a Plexiglas screen, a sweet confectionary performance begins. First the customers pick

their flavor — from No. 1 Monkey Business (banana, Nutella, graham crackers and chocolate) to No. 18 Lotz a

Nuts (graham crackers, Butterfingers, peanut butter and chocolate sauce). For the local college fan, there’s also

the No. 16 Rock Chalk Cherry (cherry, sugar cookies and chocolate sauce) and No. 17 Wildcats (blackberries,

strawberries, banana and chocolate sauce).

The customers then head down the counter to see their orders take shape behind the Plexiglas partition.

Employees pour a fresh mixture of milk, cream, sugar and egg, no preservatives allowed, onto a stainless steel

plate — kept at 3.2 degrees Fahrenheit — and then chop in ingredients such as fresh fruit and cookies as the

milk mixture swiftly freezes into a square sheet of ice cream.

Then the Freezing Moo employee draws on

the ice cream using chocolate, caramel or

strawberry sauce. Pictures of teddy bears,

smiley faces, dinosaurs or alligators, names

or messages such as Happy Birthday are

skillfully drawn on the ice cream sheet to

the customers’ delight.

Using stainless steel spatulas, the employee

then rolls up the ice cream, making five to

six rolls per order for $5.99. Customers

can add three toppings from a choice of

more than 30 — including brownies, Re-

ese’s Peanut Butter Cups, coconut flakes,

mango, toasted marshmallows and lychee.

Additional toppings are 50 cents each.

The ice cream creation is then drizzled with

chocolate, caramel or strawberry syrup,

condensed milk or whipped cream. Freshly made regular waffle

cones are 91 cents and chocolate waffle cones are $1.82.

UNIQUE STORE ENVIRONMENT

Hundreds of colorful Sticky Notes with fun messages and print-

ed photos are posted to the walls of Freezing Moo. Customers

are able to take selfie-style photos, send them to one of two

printers in Freezing Moo and immediately print them to either

post them or have as a keepsake as part of the Freezing Moo

interactive experience.

On a recent weekday, twenty-something friends, tweens and teens, and three generations of one family filled

the photo space. Customers take photos to print out at one of two printers. The customers can then post

these fun photos on the walls, which are already plastered with hundreds of colorful images and Post-It notes

with messages. Prom dates have pulled up in their limos, and families stop in after Sunday brunch to participate

in the Freezing Moo experience.

Moo’s MenuFreezing Moo offers deli-

cious, assorted ice cream

flavors including best-

sellers such as Whole

Latte Love (coffee, cook-

ies, caramel), Mint To Be

(mint Oreo, chocolate)

and Cookie Monster (Oreo cookie, chocolate). For an Asian-influenced flavor, the Green Giant uses green tea,

lychee fruit and condensed milk.

Flavors of the rolled ice cream are predetermined by the co-owners Yeh and Tang. They choose what ingredient

combinations taste best together and work well on the cold plate for spreading and rolling. While the flavors

remain the same for a few months, Yeh and Tang rotate new flavors as the seasons change.

CommunityFREE ICE CREAM GIVEAWAYS

Freezing Moo posts free ice cream giveaways as promotions on its

Facebook page. The business owners have already reached out to local

schools and organizations, such as the local school district and soc-

cer league, to promote its ice cream and become involved with the

surrounding community. Freezing Moo has sponsored many schools

and hosted fundraising events in each store, greatly to the benefit of

Freezing Moo’s reputation as a community member.

“We want to be part of the community and participate in school

events and activities. We want to help grow the area.”

With Freezing Moo, Yeh and Tang have found a means to reach people

“from all walks of life and nationalities.”

To ensure that all people have an opportunity to enjoy the Freezing Moo experience, Freezing Moo posts free

bi-monthly ice cream giveaways on its Facebook page — two-hour events that can draw hundreds of people.

In order to receive a free ice cream, guests “like” and “share” the Freezing Moo Facebook page. During the

event, a marketing coordinator talks to guests to gather demographical, geographical and marketing information

to further campaigns and pass out coupons to customers to ensure their future business.

These events allow Freezing Moo to introduce this style of ice cream service to new customers and spread

word of Freezing Moo’s incredible business and product.

MONTHLY CONTESTS

To add to the participatory, interactive appeal of Freezing Moo, the

business hosts monthly contests and invites customers to vote

on three or four options as an upcoming flavor of the month. This

ensures future flavor’s popularity, increases interaction with the

community and provides continuous rewards to Freezing Moo’s

patrons.

FIELD TRIPS

In order to continuously build a brand and community relation-

ships, Freezing Moo invites local schools to come and tour Freez-

ing Moo. During the tour, a maximum of twenty students are

introduced to the Freezing Moo brand, shown how the ice cream

is made and receive their own ice cream to enjoy. Each student leaves with Freezing Moo brand awareness,

including Freezing Moo merchandise.
