FLORENCE, Ky. — A young Northern Kentucky entrepreneur is combining his love of candy and science to create a viral business.
What started as just entertainment on social media for 16-year-old Aubrey Sink has turned into Freezin with Aubrey, a successful small business in Florence.
“I saw freeze-dried candy on TikTok and thought, 'Oh my god, that's so cool,'” Sink said.
Sink now has more than 25,000 followers on TikTok and has several deals with local amusement parks, where she sells her candy in her shop.
When Sink is at school and unable to see the machines that play an important role in freezing candy, her mother, Christina Sink, and staff are there to help.
“We sell all over the country, but we never imagined we would be in this situation,” Christina Sink said. “But it was a lot of fun. It's great to bring something unique and different to the area and bring smiles to the community.”
In learning how to be a business owner and a full-time student, Aubrey Sink says she learned more than just her snacks.
“I may be young, but I still [accomplished] This is…if you put your mind to something, you can achieve it,” she said.
