Rita's Italian Ice Franchise Information:
In 1984 Rita's opened its first store with the simple intention to offer the best tasting, highest quality Italian Ice around. Today, we own the Italian Ice category!
Offering a unique, affordable, high-quality product line and a family fun destination, Rita's has become a cultural phenomenon, thanks to our remarkably loyal customers. We've also proven to be a very successful business for our Franchise Partners!
Our unique menu features fat-free and cholesterol-free Italian Ices (including a sugar-free selection), cream ices, rich and creamy frozen custards, and signature creations such as our Misto Shake, Blendini™ and deliciously layered Gelati.
Made fresh daily, all Rita's products are created on premises with high quality ingredients. Stringent quality control standards ensure consistency at every location. Once our guest experiences Rita’s, they keep coming back for more!
