On long, hot summer days, Ocean Isle boaters and beachgoers flock to the familiar, multicolored sunshine logo like desert nomads to an oasis. Since 2004, Sunset Slush’s pushcarts have patrolled Ocean Isle Beach and Oak Island, luring customers with their wide variety of sweet and refreshing Italian ices. “We’re out there every day, sometimes walking one to two miles a day,” says Devin Sellers, who co-owns the Ocean Isle Sunset Slush with his brother, Drew, and their mom, Susie. They’re among 70 independent owners of Sunset Slush businesses, but the carts got their launch on Ocean Isle. Of his rotating selection of 10 to 12 flavors a day, Sellers says that some of the favorites are swirly blends of blue vanilla, strawberry lemonade, and the best seller, mango — what he calls “liquid gold.” All of those kids with rainbow-colored smiles just call it summer in a cup.
