Jeremiah’s Italian Ice Named One of 2022’s Top 150 Franchises for Veterans by Entrepreneur

ORLANDO, Fla. (Oct. 4, 2022) – Jeremiah’s Italian Ice was recognized as one of the top 150 franchises for veterans in 2022 by Entrepreneur. The ranking, which is featured in the October/November issue of Entrepreneur magazine and on Entrepreneur.com, highlights the franchises that provide certain benefits for veterans as well as those who have a high number of current franchisees who are veterans.  Jeremiah’s Italian Ice was ranked No. 144.

“Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is proud to be receiving this outstanding recognition from Entrepreneur,” said company CEO and Founder Jeremy Litwack. “Franchising is a great opportunity for veterans to continue supporting communities, and our brand is happy to facilitate this process and to be a driving force behind the initiative.”

This year, nearly 500 companies applied to be considered for Entrepreneur’s annual ranking of the top franchises for veterans. To determine this year’s top 150 from that pool, the editors evaluated their systems based on several factors, including the incentives they offer veterans (such as franchise fee discounts), how many of their units are owned by veterans currently, whether they offer any franchise giveaways or contests for veterans, and more. The editors also considered each company’s 2022 Franchise 500 score, based on an analysis of 150-plus data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

“This is one of the lists of the year that I am most excited to share with our franchisor partners and our audience,” said Entrepreneur Senior Vice President of Franchising Liane Caruso. “The 150 companies featured here represent not just wonderful opportunities for anyone to start their entrepreneurial journey but go the extra step to provide even more support and appreciation for our veterans who have proven their ability to work hard, navigate challenges, and understand the importance of teamwork in achieving success.”
