30. How Toa Green Built Crank & Boom Into a Beloved Lexington Institution

Crank & Boom is a staple of Lexington’s small business community, but it’s more than just ice cream.

Toa Green was born in Frankfort, KY and after traveling around for several years, came to Lexington and started her entrepreneurial journey.

In a different kind of episode for DevelopLex, we had Toa on the show not only because Crank & Boom is incredible ice cream, but more so because Toa has seen first hand how to scale a business in the city of Lexington and all of the details that have gone into that.

We were able to touch on telling a story behind a brand, the commitment it takes to truly scale, and what the community of Lexington has had to offer for an entrepreneur like Toa.
