Ice dealers ride July heat to brisk springboard profits
Central New York ice merchants report record demand as a prolonged heat wave drives up sales. The Syracuse Ice and Dry Ice Co. at the Regional Market emptied its giant freezer for the first time in memory due to a plant outage in Binghamton and an intense market. Dealers like J and E Ice Co. in Camillus say July could be their biggest month ever while Mickey’s Ice Co. in North Syracuse restocks after a lightning strike. Prices hover around 75 cents to $1.25 per 10 pound bag as customers buy for picnics weddings and parties. Many dealers rely on secondary income to survive the seasonal cycle.
