Have a mob of kids throwing a fit because you forgot the ice cream for a birthday cake? Call Alsies and be a hero.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the high-tech trappings (the company has a Steve Jobs quote on its website), the actual offerings aren\u2019t much different than the Good Humor trucks of the 1920s. Each truck has a slightly different menu, but guests can expect ice cream sandwiches, paleta-style pops, character treats in the shape of Spider-Man or SpongeBob SquarePants, and classic sweets like push-up pops and strawberry shortcake bars.<\/p>\n<p>During the winter, the trucks shift gears, offering coffee, hot chocolate, and cider alongside candy, cookies, and assorted pastries. And, yes, each truck has loudspeakers, so there\u2019s still a throwback vibe.<\/p>\n<p>Former Goldman Sachs analyst Travis Kososki founded the brand in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in 2020 while everyone else was taking up sourdough. The concept quickly took hold, becoming a franchise in 2024. Texas was an early adopter, debuting the trucks in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Alsies has not officially announced exactly when its first San Antonio area trucks will be rolling.
