Jeremiah's Italian Ice is a vibrant and community-focused franchise that began its journey in 1996 in Winter Park, Florida. Founded by Jeremy Litwack, the franchise started with a single location that quickly became a beloved spot for locals, thanks to its unique offerings of Italian ice, soft ice cream, and Gelati—a delightful combination of both.
Over the years, Jeremiah's Italian Ice has expanded significantly, and in 2019, it began franchising, allowing others to join what they call the "Frog Squad." The franchise's headquarters remain in Florida, where it continues to innovate and expand its menu, which features a variety of refreshing flavors made fresh daily.
Jeremiah's Italian Ice differentiates itself from the competition through its emphasis on creating a lively, community-centered atmosphere at each location, along with its signature product, the Gelati, which offers endless flavor combinations.
