Here is a sweet treat: well-loved local business Oxsicles <\/strong>is for sale.\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been an absolute joy being the popsicle lady for the past five seasons but it is time for me to go in a new direction,\u201d said owner Elizabeth Speed<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speed purchased the business from founder Lauren Klimetz<\/strong> in 2020 and has grown the business despite a rocky start during Covid. Today, it\u2019s a staple of the Oxford <\/strong>community, with five retail locations located around Oxford, on the Ole Miss<\/strong> campus and in Water Valley<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxsicles is a mainstay at public events such as the Oxford Community Farmers Market, Double Decker<\/strong>, Ole Miss home football games, the Sunset Series<\/strong> in The Grove<\/strong>, and is also popular for catering orders. \u201cBeing such an integral part of the community has been one of the most rewarding parts of running Oxsicles,\u201d Speed said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxsicles uses fresh and local ingredients whenever possible. Many of the pops are sweetened with local ingredients such as honey from Mardis Bee Farm<\/strong>. A fan favorite are seasonal selections like the Just Peachy pop made with Cherry Creek Orchards<\/strong> peaches. \u201cA big part of Oxsicles has always been partnering with local providers,\u201d said Speed, adding that she hopes new ownership will continue to play that role.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy whole family has adored Oxsicles for years and my (now) teen sons still look for the cart during local events,\u201d said Aimee Nezhukumatathil<\/strong>, one of Oxsicles\u2019 loyal customers. \u201cOxsicles are a cherished and delicious part of the entire town’s fabric, not only for the health-conscious and locally sourced ingredients, but because supporting a beloved small business right here in Oxford means investing back into our community.\u201c <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ole Miss student leader Ryan Augustine<\/strong> states, \u201cThere has not been an event where Oxsicles has partnered with us and that we have had any leftover popsicles because they’re just that good! Oxsicles has been more than a vendor\u2014they’ve been a friend and trusted partner in helping us create engaging events for the Ole Miss community!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeff Jones<\/strong> from the Oxford School District<\/strong> states, \u201cWe have had Oxsicles at our last two career fairs, and they are a huge hit with both the students and the vendors\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Center for Student Success and First-Year Experience at Ole Miss has chosen to work with Oxsicles for events as a treat for our students because they are truly delicious! We love the flavors offered and the convenience Oxsicles offers to us during each event. Our students loved the special finals treat in May and the fun welcome back to school in August,\u201d exclaimed Jeremy Roberts<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxsicles is Health Department<\/strong>-certified with a dedicated commercial kitchen. The kitchen houses the Robopop <\/strong>machine, which can make up to 350 popsicles an hour and is among the equipment included in the business’s sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
