Plus: Jeremiah’s Product is Completely Irresistible

Take it from Jeremiah’s Italian Ice and Ice Cream franchise owner Kim Colligan in Oklahoma, who decided to step out of her successful, decades-long career in sales to launch her own Jeremiah’s empire:

“I’d been working in sales for a cellphone company for 20 years and it was just time for me to do something different. When I would visit my daughter in college, we’d go shopping or go to the beach but no matter what we did, it always had to include a stop at Jeremiah’s—sometimes twice a day! Who can resist?! I am so proud that I was awarded a Jeremiah’s franchise.”

“Our Italian Ice is lighter and more refreshing than your typical ice cream, but it’s not like a snowcone. It’s a smoother and creamier texture that provides a really refreshing taste. And a Gelati layers that with the most decadent vanilla or chocolate ice cream that you won’t find anywhere else.”

And the Big One: Our Cool Culture
We live by our Frogma to “Live Life to the Coolest.” Every Jeremiah’s franchisee is cool, bold, genuine, vibrant, generous and strategic—the key traits of our brand and culture. We firmly believe in taking the time to taste all the flavorful experiences life has to offer and we hope you do, too! Here’s what current franchisees have to say:

“My wife and I have always been active community servants. Raising my family, I coached my three kids in each sport they played, we joined their PTA and school Board of Education and that’s a huge part of Jeremiah’s Frogma. It’s all about community.”

Charles Rankin
Jeremiah’s Franchisee

“Because I like to think at the very micro level, what I truly love about owning a Jeremiah’s is seeing every kid with a happy smile, parents a little less stressed, sitting back and enjoying a nice gelati. Also, being able to be an example for other businesses around and communities to just Live Life to the Coolest.”
