Rita's Italian Ice Franchise

Rita’s signature product is their Italian Ice, which is much smoother than a snow cone and combines ice with real fresh fruit; made fresh daily at each location and served within 36 hours of mixing. Fat-Free, Cholesterol Free, Trans-Fat Free, and made fresh daily in dozens of deliciously refreshing flavors are attributes possessed by all the desserts offered at Rita’s Italian Ice. In 1984 Rita’s opened its first store with the simple intention to offer the best-tasting, high-quality Italian Ice around. Today, they own the category they virtually created, with over 500 open stores and 400 in development. More about the cost of owning a Rita’s Italian Ice franchise is below.
