Today we’d like to introduce you to Taylor & Dylan Ruby.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Taylor is a Luxury Travel Advisor, and someone who’s spent years in the hustle of the food and hospitality world. When I became a mom, I wanted more flexibility to be present for the little moments without giving up the joy of doing work I love. That’s when my college best friend and I launched Ruby Rosen Travel, a luxury travel agency built to serve families, couples, and anyone craving meaningful travel experiences.
Dylan is a Licensed Professional Counselor who recently made the leap into private practice to create more flexibility and space for the kind of life I envisioned, one focused on connection and meaningful change. Before and during graduate school, I spent years working in restaurants and I’ve always believed that food has a unique way of bringing people together. That sense of connection is what brings joy, lifts our spirits, and helps us move through life’s challenges with a little more lightness.
When we discovered the Alsies Ice Cream Truck franchise, it felt like one of those serendipitous moments where everything just aligned. We were lucky enough to try a Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwich and honestly, we were hooked from the first bite! The person who introduced us to it mentioned an ice cream truck in Raleigh that was selling them, and we couldn’t help but be intrigued. We went home, Googled Alsies, and set up a call right away. When we connected with founders Travis and Walker, we were completely blown away by their vision and energy.
With Peachtree City’s vibrant, family-focused community, we knew a modern ice cream truck would be the perfect fit. For us, Alsies is more than just about serving ice cream, it’s about building something together and creating connections with our community. We love being able to share smiles, spark nostalgia, and carve out those small, joyful moments that make life feel big.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Starting a new business is never smooth! We have had truck electrical issues, ice cream deliveries showing up all hours of the day and many humorous fumbles. Another challenge has been finding the perfect Alsies Ambassador team members to be an extension of us, but we finally have them in place and they are amazing.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Alsies of Peachtree City?
Alsies Ice Cream Truck is all about bringing back that neighborhood magic — just like the good ol’ days when the ice cream truck made its rounds. Our core service is hitting the streets in your neighborhood, spreading smiles and serving up sweet treats.
What really sets us apart and makes us so connected to the community is the Alsies App. It’s like having a direct line to your favorite ice cream truck! By seeing which neighborhoods have the most app downloads, we can tell exactly where the excitement is and they are ready for us to swing by.
Once you download the app, you’ll get notifications when the truck is coming to your neighborhood, plus real-time tracking so you’ll never miss us. And if you’re wrangling kiddos or just need a minute to throw on your shoes, you can tell the driver to wait a minute while you make a quick dash outside. We want to make it as easy as possible to enjoy those sweet moments with us — no rush, no hassle.
But we don’t stop there! You can also reserve our pink truck for any event you have in mind. From school fundraisers and kids’ birthday parties to sporting events and neighborhood pool hangouts, we’re here to make any occasion a little sweeter.
We also take pride in curating a menu that truly has something for everyone. From gourmet ice cream sandwiches and popsicles made with natural ingredients to classic nostalgic favorites and allergy-friendly options, we’ve built our offerings around inclusivity and fun.
At Alsies, it’s not just about serving ice cream, it’s about creating experiences. From our playful pink truck to our thoughtfully chosen menu, everything we do is crafted with community in mind. We’re especially proud to be a local business that supports local events and organizations, building connections and memories one treat at a time.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Nostalgia will continue to be a large part of the ice cream industry. Kid-friendly flavors like bomb pops, character pops, and classic flavors like s’mores will gain customer share.
Better-for-you Ice Cream will also gain share. Products with added protein and lower calorie will remain popular. We see more premium brands coming into the mainstream that have eliminated artificial colors and flavors, fewer preservatives, processing aids, and stabilizers.
Global flavors will become more and more prominent, as well as more familiar flavors that have not been applied to ice cream yet. Think about flavors like Dubai Chocolate, Speculoos (aka Biscoff cookies) and Nutella.
