Own a Jeremiah's Italian Ice

Go Beyond an Ice Cream Franchise and Own Something Much Cooler

Ever dream about ditching the cubicle for something a whole lot cooler? Franchising with Jeremiah's Italian Ice means trading a desk for your own personal Sweet Spot, and your ticket to a life built around Italian Ice, Jelati®, and a community showing up for you.

Jeremiah's has spent three decades building a Culture of Cool, and franchising since 2019 has turned die-hard fans into owners ready to build something real. With more than 170 Sweet Spots open today, this frozen dessert franchise opportunity still has room for the next name on the list—yours.

What You’ll Bring to Your Community

While you’ll spend plenty of time serving delicious (and we mean DELICIOUS) frozen treats and Jeremiah's Flavorites®, you’ll also find yourself becoming part of the neighborhood. Our owners become a true sweet pillar of their communities.

As a Jeremiah's Ice franchsie owner, you’ll bring:

our one-of-a-kind, signature Italian Ice, Jelatis, and Flavorites to your treat-craving community.
innovative menu items, like the new Jeremiah's Jelati® Cake, built for birthdays, team wins, and any excuse to celebrate.
a community gathering place, filled with joyful smiles and happy families.
the Culture of Cool to the "Frog Squad" you hire, train, and nurture within the inspiring culture of Jeremiah's.

The combination of a community-rooted atmosphere and our iconic menu creates the kind of brand love and steady guest traffic that makes our frozen dessert franchise the envy of the neighborhood.

The Business Side of Cool (It’s Simple, We Promise)

Time for the nitty-gritty. Jeremiah's owners step into a simple, scalable operating mode with 30+ years of proven brand processes and systems already built in. Add flexible real estate options, hands-on training, and ongoing marketing support, and the benefits really layer up—just like one of our Jelatis.

Explore the site to get the full scoop, or reach out today if the timing feels right.

Three Decades of Proof, and Counting

Numbers don't lie, and three decades of fans keep proving the point. Jeremiah's opened its first Sweet Spot back in 1996, and the brand has spent every year since layering fans, flavors, and locations across the map. With 180+ locations operating and more in development, the sweetness of Jeremiah's is scooping up flavorful experiences across the U.S.

And the frozen dessert franchise category keeps heating up, projected to grow from $24.2 billion in 2026 to $49.1 billion by 2033. With our model, you're building alongside three decades of brand love and the most uniquely delicious treats available anywhere!
