Joel Semanko is the Co-Founder of one of the "funnest" business stories in the news today, Cool Cycles Ice Cream Co.(tm). His "Nick Name" is "JoelCoolCycles" and he has a sidekick named "Scooter", the Saber Tooth Kitten you see in the Cool Cycles(tm) logo.

Cool Cycles(tm) is selling low cost franchises that allow people to work full or part time selling novelty Ice Cream products from Sidecar Motorcycles. Cool Cycles(tm) is based in Tacoma Washington. They currently sell single unit franchises and plan to launch a Master Franchisee program later this year. Cool Cycles(tm) is committed to changing the image of the "Ice Cream Man." The feedback from customers says a change is needed. They say that Cool Cycles(tm) has already started to change this image with their own custom tune and nostalgic uniform; which includes a white shirt and black bow tie and white hat. When Cool Cycles(tm) is driving down the road you'll see it clearly portrays ice cream, fun, music, color and kids. When you talk to our customers, they'll tell you "it's not just ice cream, its memories; and that's exactly what we're in business to do, build memories" says Joel Semanko

Joel Semanko wears many hats at Cool Cycles(tm); his favorite is the Ambassador of Fun Stuff. He gets to sell the Franchises, develop the Operations and Marketing Systems for the Franchisees and work with really talented people providing services to their company. In addition to all that, he gets to do what Entrepreneurs do, whatever else is needed. Joel makes light of his responsibilities because after 25 years of corporate experience in sales and marketing he's had the opportunity to set a new tone for the environment he wants to work in. This means every day is an adventure and it's ok to be in or out of the box. His plans reach far beyond ice cream in the local neighborhoods. Semanko says "his goal is to build Cool Cycles(tm) to be one of the most admired Franchise Companies in the world."

One of Joel's favorite quotes is from a personal friend Howard Behar, the former President of Starbucks International. Howard says," As an Entrepreneur, you're not trying to "balance" your life, you're living it." Joel's found a way to combine his entrepreneurial mind, love of business and passion for riding motorcycles by adding a sidecar to a motorcycle and filling it with Ice Cream.

In his spare time you may see Cool Cycles(tm) Co-Founder Joel Semanko riding his "Old School" Black & Cream colored Harley(r) motorcycle with its matching sidecar. He rides around and talks with people about Cool Cycles(tm) and enjoys writing about the people he meets in his Face book and Twitter series "JoelCoolCycles Sidecar Adventures and People Along the Way!".
