The Wren family has been producing premium ice cream since 1973. It all began with Kenneth Wren owning and operating the K&W Creamy Whip in Lockland, OH with the help of his family. Ken and his son, Keith, then opened The Cone on July 15, 1995. The Wrens operated The Cone in West Chester, OH until they sold the store to the amazing Heydt family on February 14, 2025!

Keith Wren will continue to own and operate one of the Mobile Cone units and all of the Hawaiian Shave Ice Units. Mike Heydt will operate the other Mobile Cone unit, with Keith’s guidance until he learns the ropes. Keith and Mike will handle requests together—same request form!

The “first” Mobile Cone unit was purchased in Louisiana in 2005 by Keith and the very first event was Saint Max Festival! Over the years, the fleet has grown to multiple Mobile Cone units and Hawaiian Shave Ice Units. There were 10 events in 2005 and now there are over 200 per season! The Mobile Cone and Shave Ice Units have had the privilege of serving at events with up to 500,000 attendees!

The Mobile Cone units are constantly undergoing renovations to stay highly efficient and state-of-the-art. Jake Power, who has worked for The Cone and Mobile Cone since 2005, handles all of our renovations and additions—including making the Mobile units longer and rebuilding the interiors for increased efficiency!

Although crafting a quality product is more labor-intensive, The Wrens and Heydts believe the end result is well worth it. We proudly serve our famous secret recipe orange creamsicle, natural shave ice flavors that are made in-house, and all of our toppings are premium. Come taste the difference!
