About Jeremiah’s Italian Ice
Company overview and description
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is an independent frozen dessert chain known for its Italian ice, gelati, and soft ice cream. The company was founded in 1996 by Jeremy Litwack, who opened the first location as a walk-up shop in Winter Park, Florida. Jeremiah’s quickly built a following for its layered frozen treats and playful, welcoming atmosphere.
A major milestone came in 2019 when Jeremiah’s launched its franchise program, which accelerated the brand’s growth beyond its Florida roots. As of November 2025, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice operates more than 120 stores across 11 states. The company’s footprint now extends into Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and other fast-growing Sunbelt markets, with a presence in both suburban retail corridors and urban centers.
Over the past five years, Jeremiah’s has expanded rapidly by partnering with new franchisees and adapting its store formats to fit a variety of real estate environments. Locations include walk-up shops, drive-thru units, and inline retail spaces, allowing the brand to fit into shopping centers, mixed-use developments, and standalone sites. This flexible approach has supported the company’s steady expansion and ability to enter new markets efficiently.
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice remains privately held and continues to focus on strategic growth, prioritizing high-visibility sites in regions with strong population growth. The company’s track record of opening over 100 stores since 2019 and its ongoing search for new real estate opportunities reflect a growth-oriented posture and a reputation for driving consistent customer traffic.
