“My name’s Bill Mitchell. I’m in the construction business in Bay Minette, Alabama. We’ve been in this business about 55 years.

We own four or five retail centers around the county. I noticed people around the county… There was a couple of machines around that I noticed quite a bit of activity going around it. We’d looked at Twice the Ice and then toured the Kooler Ice plant, and after touring the Kooler Ice plant and talking with the employees and owners, and Carrie showing us around the plant and seeing how they were done, that was no question what machine we wanted. We decided to give it a shot at our site in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

I put my first machine in Gulf Shores in May of 2014. It immediately began picking up steam. It would sell out of ice every day, and it had two heads, two ice machines on it. So starting the end of 2014, I thought I’d order another one with three heads on it and had it delivered in May to the same site in Gulf Shores. I moved the existing machine there to a site that we have in Daphne, Alabama. The three head machine I put in the Gulf Shores, it’s been really good. Everything that Kooler Ice said the machine would do, it’s done that and more. They’ve answered any questions I’ve had. They’re a really good company.
