Our Story
A few of our favorite things:
-warm weather, sweet treats, & high school athletic events
That last one may sound unusual, but Matthew coaches two different sports at the high school level, and Jessica is currently a school counselor at another high school, so it's become part of our everyday lives.
We actually met while both working at the same high school from 2017-2022 and have spent a great amount of time there during the school day, and outside of it.
Petty Jessie's Fun Ice came about when we were brainstorming on how to combine the time we're spending at athletic events with being even more active with our students.
We feel really fortunate to have found a way to incorporate both into Petty Jessie's as we move forward to continue serving shaved ice at games, tournaments, parties, and events with our amazing staff for you!
The name's a little unique... where did that come from?
Have you ever been to one of those restaurants where they're rude to you on purpose? That's not what we're doing, I promise, but the sarcasm in the name kind of reminds me of that.
For those that know Jess well, petty is definitely not the first word that comes to mind, and nobody actually refers to her as Jessie. But, a counselor she worked with nicknamed her Petty Jessie one day (probably warranted in that moment), and it just kind of stuck from there! I think the rhyming helps.
