⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Sweetened condensed milk: because apparently perfection needed a topping.

The rest that we’re guilty of-
Flavor: Lemon Guanabana shave ice
Dyes: Come on, zero!
Artificial flavors: Seriously? None!
Hidden ice cream on the inside: creamy lemon
Fruit topping: fresh strawberries!

Run! We’re open this Labor Day weekend at Wrightsville Beach, Holden Beach, and Holly Springs at The Family Farm

🎉Celebrate with our family! 👋🏼 Hey, this is Rachael, the owner and creator of Waves. Today is the 6th anniversary of our grand opening! We opened July 10, 2021. My five children and I didn’t know what we were doing, but we had an idea and were determined to make it happen!

Looking back on these photos from our first day we opened make me so happy. At the time, my 11 year old was taking orders, my 8 year old was handing them out the window, and my 17, 15, and 14 year olds were making the shave ice.

What you don’t see is all of the behind the scene dinner conversations about the logo design, the recipe creations, the wrap on the food truck, our marketing strategy, and many, MANY late nights! It was truly a family affair!

❤️We are so excited, and so humbled, and feel greatly blessed how far we have come, and we owe it all to your support!

⭐️⭐️🍧Enjoy any large shave ice today with one free topping for six dollars to celebrate our sixth anniversary!

🇺🇸Happy Fourth of July! We will be closing all locations at 5 PM so our employees can enjoy the evening with their families and friends. Be safe and enjoy today with yours! Of course, cool off with some ice cream and shave ice before you end your day.
