Jeremiah’s Italian Ice Opens in Locust

Local Family Set to Open Favorite Italian Ice Concept outside Charlotte

LOCUST, NC. – Orlando-based Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is now scooping up its iconic frozen treats in Locust with the announcement of the brand’s newest location opening in the area. The new Jeremiah’s Italian Ice location, which opens November 15th, is located at 146 James Avenue across from the Walmart Supercenter. The new Jeremiah’s is owned by the Spears family who hope to partner with local schools, churches, and community organizations to cater events and raise money for local causes.

This is the first Jeremiah’s location in the country that has been built from the ground up and will serve as one of the brands prototypes for future expansion across the country.  The new Jeremiah’s Italian Ice offers guests both indoor and outdoor seating, a drive-thru, and third-party delivery services. The heated outdoor patio will have two overhead garage doors that open to indoor seating and can be used for birthday parties, meetings, or conferences.

Owner Vann Spears has installed fences in the Charlotte area for the last 25 years. His wife, Lori, retired from school administration. Their two daughters will also be helping guests make tasty memories in this new business venture.

“Locust is a small close-knit community that is growing,” said owner Vann Spears. “We can’t wait to bring Jeremiah’s to the area. My family and I were so impressed with the culture and product that we wanted to share it with everyone!”

Each store boasts an upbeat atmosphere full of vibrant colors and offers over 40 flavors of indulgent high-quality Italian Ice, as well as creamy Soft Ice Cream. A synthesis of these two core products, the Jeremiah’s Gelati is the showcase of the menu with layers of Italian Ice with thick, homemade Soft Ice Cream, offering nearly limitless flavor combinations. Jeremiah’s franchisees are embedded in the local community and are crucial to helping keep communities smiling.

“We are thrilled to be expanding the brand across the Charlotte area,” said company founder Jeremy Litwack. “We’re certain that the new location will be a success in the local community due to the Spears passion and commitment to the brand.”

The Spears say they are currently working to establish partnership opportunities with local schools, churches, and community organizations. The opening of the brand’s newest location in Locust marks the next step in the Jeremiah’s Italian Ice expansion throughout The Tar Heel State.
