Holy Moly Sugar Shack named Member of the Month

The Sallisaw Chamber of Commerce announced Holy Moly Sugar Shack as its August Member of the Month.

The Sallisaw Chamber of Commerce during Wednesday’s monthly membership luncheon at Indian Capital Technology Center announced Holy Moly Sugar Shack as its August Member of the Month.

Holy Moly Sugar Shack is owned by Joseph and Kristie Hardbarger, who are both lifelong residents of Sallisaw. Joseph has worked for Cherokee Nation Entertainment (CNE) for 18 years and is currently a gaming analyst in Catoosa. Kristie has also worked in management for CNE in Roland for 17 years.

Joseph and Kristie purchased the Holy Moly Sugar Shack trailer in 2021, and recently purchased the former Burger Barn building as the future home for the business. So what started as a sno cone trailer has become so much more.
