| Texoma Ice was originally The Water Shoppe Ice House based in Vernon Texas. In 2004, the business was bought by Jon Reese and Lynn Holzer. To better facilitate the growing market, the manufacturing and distribution facility was moved to Wichita Falls, Texas in early 2005. It is located in the downtown district, near some of the city's historical landmarks. The facility is equipped with freezer storage for over 85 tons of ice, and manufacturing capacity of over 50 tons of ice per day. In addition, Texoma manufactures its own block ice for use by shaved ice retailers. The partners in this family-run business, have vast experience in manufacturing and service. Jon Reese and Lynn Holzer are both career Professional Firefighters with over 28 years each experience. They are very active in local and regional charities and serve on multiple non-profit boards. The combination of experience and vision is what makes Texoma Ice a leader in the packaged ice industry. |
