A deliciously unique opportunityA one-of-a-kind product, When people walk into a Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard, they know they are in for a treat. Guests have been loving our product since the first Rita's opened outside of Philadelphia in 1984. Since then, Rita's franchisees have opened nearly 600 units that serve up smiles alongside silky Italian Ice flavors and creamy Frozen Custard treats. Rita's has thrived because we provide a frozen treat unlike any other, served quickly with a smile in a family-friendly atmosphere. The result is an experience unlike any other that has earned Rita's a cult-like following. Our walk-up and drive-thru options and simple-to-run, community-oriented business make it a great fit for entrepreneurs looking for a fun business to operate. Always fresh. Always delicious. Always original.In a world full of ice cream franchises, we offer unique frozen desserts that make guests return again and again ![]() Frozen Custard - prized for its dense, creamy texture and intense flavors - is a rare offering. Finding silky-smooth Italian ice? Unheard of. Unless you already have a Rita's nearby, a business offering both is going to be hard to find, which adds to our incredible ability to create guest loyalty. In the Northeast, we are an institution, thanks to over three decades of happy customers who know what to expect. In newer markets, we have a unique advantage: We are the original. Today's customers want something newIt can be incredibly hard to stand out from the competition once you're one of many ice cream shops in a neighborhood. It is also hard to earn loyalty when potential customers can get the same thing you sell from every grocery store, gas station, corner market, restaurant and truck in town.
This is an advantage that our franchisees enjoy compared to ice cream franchises and other crowded parts of the frozen dessert industry, like frozen yogurt. In our core markets, we're beloved because guests know they can't get incredible Italian Ice, Frozen Custard or Rita's distinctive Blendini® or flagship Gelati elsewhere. In newer markets, foodies and other curious customers love us because we offer a new experience -- and once they experience Rita's, they spread the news. All of this is huge in the nearly $30 billion frozen desserts industry because it will help you win customers who are eager to try new things.
