Jean Bridges and Robert Bateman didn’t come up with a high-tech, costly business model to impress the judges when they competed in the 2010 Donald W. Reynolds Governor’s Cup.

To compete in the business plan competition for college students, the future entrepreneurs instead developed a plan to make all-natural Italian ices in colorful packaging and sell the healthy treats at a small stand.

They also came up with a catchy name: Tiki Ice.

The simplicity of their business model made Tiki Ice turnkey ready. Last summer the partners opened a stand in the popular Town Square shopping center. And in March they started selling packaged Tiki Ice in Southern Nevada Whole Foods Markets.
