About Us
Summer Ice Shanty was founded in 2016, when Bob and Peg Hille brought the idea to the Northwoods after visiting their son at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii. After 5 successful years, the Hille’s decided it was time to fully enjoy their retirement and sold the business to Anna and Kim.
Anna and Kim are friends and business partners, with a mutual admiration for northern Wisconsin. Both of their backgrounds are in construction; however, they’ve always dreamt of a simpler life and joked about quitting their day jobs and scooping ice cream on the beach. While they’re not quitting their day jobs and Woodruff may not be the first town that comes to mind when you think of a beach, they are excited for this new adventure!
