Three years ago, entrepreneurs Brian and Miranda Russell - along with their three children, Arianna, Shaun and Sophia - made a move to the ever-growing city of Madill, Okla. Being familiar in business management, the Russells bought a downtown building and started a small business in 2020.
The Russells wanted to incorporate their family and sold their first business to focus more on a family based business with their children. In May of 2022, 3 Amigas Boutique and Bug’s Shaved Ice was born. Remaining in the same building as the first business, the Russells set out for a more family involved environment while serving the community they love.
Bug’s Shaved Ice will celebrate its one year birthday in May. It is owned by Arianna Hernandez, Russell’s daughter. Hernandez saved her babysitting money and decided downtown Madill could benefit from a stationary snow cone stand.
Kicking off her new venture at the Sand Bass Festival in 2022, she quickly discovered she would need a bigger machine to accommodate the surge of customers wanting shaved ice to cool off in the summer heat. With customer needs came growth to Bug’s evolving into more than just shaved ice.
Bug’s is located inside 3 Amigas Boutique and has a walk-up window from the sidewalk for easy direct customer access. With an assortment of shaved ice flavors and toppings, Bug’s also offersmilkshakes,smoothies, frappuccino and boba drinks year round. Bug’s also delivers at no additional charge on Saturdays inside Madill city limits.
3 Amigas Boutique is a unique store in an excellent location with lots of sidewalk traffic. Being a small downtown business and sharing the same Shop Local decisions, thisboutiqueofferssecondhand clothing. Clothing is hand sorted making sure the items on the racks are free of stains, odors, rips and tears.
Beyond clothing, this boutique has a variety of jewelry, handbags, key chains and car freshies - just to name a few. Russell said she is thankful to be able to work with her daughters all while meeting community needs as a business owner. 3 Amigas Boutique is located at 310 E. Main Street in Madill, Okla.
