The OSM Family
 
 


 
 

One Sweet Moment was founded by Althea Dietzel, an experienced entrepreneur and longtime resident of the Hamilton neighborhood of Northeast Baltimore City. She opened "Billy's Snowballs" in 1993, starting with just 12 flavors and one ice shaver. Through hard work and a dedication to quality, the business quickly expanded, even outgrowing its name to become One Sweet Moment in 2003.


The hardworking members of the OSM family:

ALTHEA

Favorite Regular Snowball Flavor:
Fireball

Favorite Specialty Snowball Flavor:
Wedding Cake

The founder of OSM, Althea is still deeply involved in the day-to-day activities of the business. She is on the floor working with her employees every evening and weekend, ensuring the quality of the products her business provides. She's still often affectionately referred to as "Billy" by some of OSM's long-standing customers who remember the roots of the business.

     
     
ANIKA (NIK)

Favorite Regular Snowball Flavor:
Arctic Sunrise

Favorite Specialty Snowball Flavor:
York Peppermint Patty

Althea's youngest daughter, Nik, ran the cash register and stocked flavors as a child. As an adult, she took over management of the business for several years while her mother was unable to devote 100% of her time to OSM. Now, having completed her Master's degree and devoting herself to parenting an active preschooler, Nik and her family commute from their home in Pennsylvania to run the snowball stand on the weekdays.
