Rita’s Italian Ice is continuing to expand nationwide with 600 locations in 30+ states. Italian Ice and Frozen Custard are the two core products all of the treats on our menu, which helps simplify operations and keep our food costs low, both in terms of inventory and food waste. Catering and mobile units provide franchisees with the flexibility to create additional revenue streams by taking our delicious frozen treats to the people.
The seasonal aspect of the business — franchises in colder climates are often closed during the winter months — allows franchise owners the opportunity to use the downtime to strategize unit growth and revenue potential. Rita’s is ideal for both multi-unit operators and single-unit owners.
Rita’s franchisees come from all walks of life with one thing in common -the desire to choose their own destiny with a proven system providing on-going support; not to mention all having a passion for Rita’s cool treats and foregoing happiness.
The ideal Rita’s franchisee has a passion for the brand and the business. They have a hands-on approach to help get the business in operation and continue to be engaged in their local communities to help strengthen relationships to help promote their business and the Rita’s brand.
