the Meridian Senior Center, Rock of Honor Memorial, two large ponds that are stocked for fishing,
five reservable picnic shelters, playground, splash pad, sand volleyball court, bocce ball courts,

also host to a variety of special events throughout the year including Gene Kleiner Day, Meridian
Community Block Party, Treasure Valley Ford and Mustang Club Car Show, and the Meridian

vendors as part of their events. Those Vendors, however, are not permitted to offer snow cones or
similar products to snow cones such as gelato or ice cream from May 1 st - September 30th

may occur.

Operating Plan
Operational Philosophy & Incumbent Advantage
Joy's Boys LLC has spent the last 11 years perfecting a concessions model at Julius M. Kleiner
Memorial Park that prioritizes the visitor experience, health department compliance, and maximizing
revenue for the City. Having operated this stand since 2014, we offer a seamless transition with zero
learning curve and a proven history of continually increasing profitability for the City.
Proposed Schedule (Exceeding City Minimums)
While the RFP requires minimum hours of 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM, we intend to provide significantly
higher service levels to meet the needs of park patrons.
• Daily Summer Hours: 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM (Monday through Sunday).
• Expanded Season: We will open for weekends starting Easter weekend and continue through
the end of September, extending the service window beyond the required Memorial Day to
Labor Day timeframe.
• Reliability: Hours will remain consistent throughout the summer season to provide a
dependable resource for families, daycares, and event attendees.
Menu Innovation and Diversity (50+ Items)
Our menu has evolved to include over SO items, balancing traditional favorites with new healthy and
artisan options.
• New Healthy Offerings: To support active park users, we have added fresh-cut watermelon
bowls, assorted fruit, and yogurt cups with a choice of toppings.
• Artisan & Specialty Snacks: We are expanding our menu to include charcuterie boxes, giant
pretzels, and thick-sliced sourdough bread with toppings such as whipped butter or jam.
• Protected Best-Sellers: We prioritize the "best-selling" items protected by the City from
outside competition to maximize shared revenue. These include:
o Hawaiian Shave Ice & Slushies: 37 authentic island flavors.
o Soft Serve Ice Cream: Prepared on-site using commercial equipment.
o Frozen Treats: A wide variety including fudge bars, orange cream bars, helados,
drumsticks, Mickey Mouse ice cream, star bars, and ice cream sandwiches
Joy's Boys LLC
• Affordability: Joy's Boys provides a wide variety of menu items at diverse price points to
ensure accessibility for all park patrons, including families, local daycares, and recent
immigrants to our community. Our pricing remains focused on affordability so that no visitor
walks away feeling they cannot afford a healthy snack or a special treat.
Beyond our standard menu, Joy and Roger are personally committed to creating special
memories for children and adults of all financial backgrounds. In instances where a child or
family is unable to pay, Joy is known for providing a small complementary treat, such as a
sucker, to ensure every guest receives a warm welcome. These small acts of kindness are
designed to put a smile on our customers' faces and create a lasting, positive impression of
their time at Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park. We believe this level of care fosters a more
inclusive park environment, which is directly in the best interest of the City.
Advanced Equipment & Professional Infrastructure
The City provides only the physical building and three sinks. To independently perform the Scope of
Work,Joy's Boys provides a full suite of commercial-grade equipment, including:
• Specialty Machines: Shave ice, slushie, soft-serve ice cream, popcorn, cotton candy, and
kettle corn machines.

crepe iron, soup warmers, and rice cooker.

Joy's Boys LLC
Staffing and On-Site Leadership

complete a rigorous training program personally overseen by owners Joy and Roger Patterson.
This onboarding includes roleplaying for customer service, machine operation, and strict food
safety protocols.
• Scalable Staffing Levels:
o Low-Traffic Days: During slower periods, a single experienced employee who has
demonstrated mastery of all operational and safety protocols may work
independently.
o Busy Days: On standard busy days (such as Saturdays and peak summer weekdays), we
increase staffing to a minimum of two employees to meet demand and maintain
cleanliness.
o Special Events: For major events like Gene Kleiner Day, Kleiner Park Live, or the
Meridian Fine Art Festival, we scale up to four or more employees (including Roger &
Joy) to ensure efficient service.
• Active On-Site Management: As owner-operators, Roger and Joy Patterson are at the park
every day and personally handle the daily opening and closing of the stand. On days with
special events, they work the event to ensure operational efficiency and guarantee a
wonderful experience for every customer.
Proactive Park Stewardship
Our 13-year partnership with Meridian Parks has taught us to be the "eyes and ears" of Kleiner Park.
• Maintenance: We proactively report maintenance needs such as malfunctioning sprinklers to
prevent flooding, restroom supply issues, garbage collection, and sanitation concerns.
• Safety: We communicate broken playground equipment, plugged splashpad issues, and other
concerning issues like broken glass to ensure safety.
• Security: We maintain a direct relationship with the Meridian Police, reporting vandalism,
drug related activities, and suspicious behavior to keep the park a safe environment for all
park goers
