Renting Nashville Ice Cream Trucks Made Easy!

Two Trucks - THREE Services

We have upgraded to newer trucks...and we think even cooler than the original Nashville Ice Cream Trucks which sadly was retired after 40 years of ice cream service. The updated trucks allow us to bring prepackaged, hand scooped premium ice creams and soon to be announced Nashville Italian ices truck for 2024. We can serve hand made desserts complete with ice ceam, syrups, toppings, etc along with the original old school prepackaged ice creams. Check out the Nashville ice cream trucks page for more details.

Updated Menu

NEW!! The Mean Green Ice Cream Machine has ripped out the old menu and now delivers a dual menu! We have cleaned out the trucks to make them both an old school treats truck as well as a GOURMET Ice Cream Desserts Truck! We will now be serving hand scooped ice creams, and delicious desserts along with the old school treats. We continue to carry many of the old school pre-packaged treats which made us so popular, but now we have expanded due to demand for gourmet ice cream dishes and desserts.

Why Choose Us?

Have you looked at other companies that offer Nashville ice cream truck rentals? We urge anyone thinking of renting an ice cream truck to call around to get pricing and see what actually will show up. Most other companies have simple vans not designed with a floorplan to meet the rigid Tennessee Department of Health requirements. Do you want a van showing up or a rolling entertainment vehicle with custom paint, hydraulics, stereo and the proper freezer setup? The Mean Green Ice Cream Machine is a family owned business and began with an original Good Humor ice cream truck. This vehicle was built by Chevy and International to specifically and only be used as an ice cream truck. In short, the truck was always an ice cream truck and has the proper setup for mobile use! Please check other companies to see the inside of their vehicles and compare! Note that in 2018, the original Mean Green truck was retired but we now have two reliable trucks to serve ice cream in Middle Tennessee.
