Palacana
Jose Luis got his start selling popsicles in Mexico before immigrating to the United States, where he started his family-owned ice cream business. He turned to CommunityAmerica for help in building a sustainable business, which led to the purchasing of a production facility and their first popsicle wrapping machine. Now, Palacana operates four company-owned stores across Kansas City and one partner-owned store in Wichita. This unbelievable team is built to thrive.
