Some businesses just get it. 🍦

Provost Esso has served its community for 48 years, with three generations of the Twa family behind the counter. Owner Travis followed his grandfather, father, and uncle into the business, and Taylor equipment has been part of the story for around 30 years, from early slush and soft serve machines to the two slush units and Flavor Burst soft serve running today.

Here's what stands out for c-store owners: frozen treats and slush turn foot traffic into add-on sales, and the machines run consistently shift after shift so your team isn't babysitting equipment during a rush. 🥤

Thinking about adding soft serve or slush to your store? We'll help you find the right fit and back it with local service.

Then. Now. Still Taylor. 🥤

Meet the Shakemaster — Class of 1989. Built to pull classic, single-flavor shakes in a slim footprint, back when a shake meant one flavor done right.

Fast forward to today: the Model 441 carries that same standard forward. Same single-flavor focus. Same space-saving build. Decades of refinement in every pull.

100 years in, and we're still swirling. 🍦

Curious what a 441 could do behind your counter? Give us a call — we'd love to walk you through it.

Cooler weather's coming — is your frozen program ready? 🍂❄️

Soft serve, shakes, frozen cocktails — the season shift is the perfect window to reset your equipment and get ahead of the fall menu:

🧽 Deep clean and inspect your machines
🍎 Refresh your menu with fall-forward flavors (think pumpkin, apple crisp, salted caramel, spiced cocktails)
👥 Train your team now so they're pouring with confidence when the weather turns

A little prep now = smoother service when your regulars start asking what's new.

Need help with equipment service, menu ideas, or a fresh machine before the season? Give us a call.

Southern Blend or Market Blend — which one belongs in YOUR kitchen? 🍗🥔

Two proprietary breading blends from Taylor AFS, built for operators who take their fry program seriously:

🔸 #1000 Southern Blend — Classic Southern-style aromatic flour. Deep gold finish, perfectly salty, not too crispy. Made for flavor-packed fried chicken AND fish fry night (catfish, trout, whiting, tilapia, you name it). Toss and go — that easy.

🔸 #2000 Market Blend — Mild aromatic specialty flour with moderate salt, light gold finish, and visible cracked pepper. A versatile baseline that pairs beautifully with poultry, pork, potatoes, and vegetables for a clean, mellow fry.

✅ Simple application on any protein or veggie
✅ 45 lb boxes | Locally milled
✅ Long shelf life | Easy to sift
✅ Pre-bread ahead and keep chilled for busy service

The machines get a lot of attention. 🍦

But it's always been the people, behind the counter and in front of it, who made it matter. The operators who showed up early. The staff who kept things moving. The customers who kept coming back.

100 years of that. 💙
