David Rodgers cofounded Ice Queen in 2025 to supply the subcontractors building Meta’s huge AI data center in rural Louisiana 
Meta says the build will support more than 7,500 jobs at its peak.
Ice Queen started with $3 bags of ice, kept in a tractor-trailer parked near the site, plus a truck for deliveries.
Then it turned into a one-stop shop for the crews, from coffee machines and fridges to cups and straws…
Pallets of water are where we make most of our money because it’s a safety issue out here. The heat and all that…
I buy truckloads of water and deliver probably 30 to 40 pallets of water a week to these guys.
He sells each pallet for about $600, so call it $18K a week in water sales before he pays for the water itself 
Ice Queen has also branched out to other big clients in the area, for when the build wraps up.
Other locals are cashing in on the same crews…
- A taco shop catering for them at $4K–$7K an order
- A coffee shop that went from 30 tickets on a good day to about 130
- A couple renting furnished four-bed homes to workers at $3,000 a month
The water run is the easiest to copy, and it doesn’t need a data center, just a big crew working outdoors in the heat.
