We own our category.


In 1984 Rita's opened its first store with the simple intention to offer the best tasting, high quality Italian Ice around. Today, we own the category we virtually created, with over 500 open stores and 400 in development.

Offering a unique, affordable, high-quality product line and a family fun destination, Rita's has become a cultural phenomenon, thanks to our remarkably loyal customers. We've also proven to be a very successful business for our franchisees!

The Wall Street Journal has named Rita's a "Top 25 Franchise High Performer."


We enjoy a cult-like following.


Our unique menu features fat-free and cholesterol-free Italian Ices (including a sugar-free selection), cream ices, rich and creamy frozen custards, and signature creations such as our Misto shake, Blendini™ and deliciously layered Gelati.

Made fresh daily, all Rita's products are created on premises with high quality ingredients. Stringent quality control standards ensure consistency at every serving window in the franchise. No wonder we attract a cult-like following wherever we go!

Just as importantly, there is tremendous growth potential in the Italian Ice category as consumers discover this delicious alternative to the old standby frozen desserts. Rita's is now executing an ambitious strategic plan to capitalize on all of these factors as they converge to create a truly exciting opportunity. There's never been a better time to join the Rita's family!
