Frios Franchise Review: Meet the Birkheads From Tampa

Franchising with Frios doesn’t just mean putting your business goals into action, it means joining a family of Happiness Hustlers that bring joy to our fans across the nation, one pop at a time. Our franchisees are an extension of our brand, exemplifying what it means to dream big and act even bigger. To celebrate our hard-working franchise owners, we want to recognize a few in our system that make the most out of our refreshing franchise opportunity.

The Birkheads in Tampa, Florida

Joe and Lisa Birkhead along with their two children, Joelisa and Joe, are the Happiness Hustlers behind a Frios Sweet Ride in Apollo Beach, Florida. After serving in the armed forces together for 16 years, Joe and Lisa were searching for a business prospect that would allow them to proudly retire from the military and spend more time with their kids. Along came the Frios franchise opportunity that allowed the husband-and-wife team to not only dedicate more time to their kids, but also to teach them interpersonal skills through their family-ran mobile business. What ultimately made the Birkheads choose Frios as their franchise fit? Joe explained that the Frios franchise “was one of the few to embody a core value of family—not only saying it, but showing it.” The Birkhead’s veteran-owned business puts their family-first approach into practice and we’re thrilled that our concept has enabled them to do so.
