Frazil strengthens convenience store presence with Alligator Ice deal

The move highlights Frazil’s effort to expand into convenience stores, entertainment venues, QSRs/LSRs, and schools.

SALT LAKE CITY — Frazil, the largest slush brand in the U.S., has acquired Alligator Ice, a Missouri-based frozen drink company with more than 20 years in the industry and a presence in over 10,000 convenience stores nationwide.

The move underscores Frazil’s strategic push to broaden its footprint across convenience stores, entertainment venues, QSRs/LSRs, and educational institutions.

"Alligator Ice has established a strong presence in the convenience store channel over the past two decades," said Kyle Freebairn, CEO of Frazil. "Welcoming the Alligator Ice team into the Frazil team represents an exciting step forward as we continue to expand our portfolio and deliver even greater value to our retail partners and customers nationwide."

Known for its wide range of flavors and hands-on support, Alligator Ice has helped make frozen beverages an accessible, profitable category for retailers. By combining with Frazil’s scale and innovation, the two companies aim to strengthen retail partnerships and accelerate category growth.

“We're thrilled to be joining forces with the Frazil team and couldn't have asked for a better partner to help our customers reach their full potential in the frozen beverage category," said Russ Warner at Alligator Ice. "Alligator Ice has always been focused on helping our retail partners grow. Becoming part of Frazil strengthens that mission and gives us the ability to expand our reach and impact across the frozen beverage category.”

The acquisition follows Frazil’s recent purchases of Trident Beverage and Berkeley Street Beverages, further cementing its rapid growth across convenience and K-12 channels.

Frazil and Alligator Ice will exhibit together at the NACS Show, taking place Oct. 15–18, 2025.
