Jeremiah’s Italian Ice Continues Spring Expansion with Four April Openings

May 27, 2026 // Franchising.com // ORLANDO, Fla. – Jeremiah’s Italian Ice continues its national growth with four new shop openings across Tennessee, Texas and Georgia.

The April openings bring Jeremiah’s total footprint to 177 locations nationwide, including 159 franchise-owned locations and 18 corporate-owned locations. Each of the four new shops is owned by first-time Jeremiah’s franchise owners.

“April was an exciting month for Jeremiah’s because each of these openings was led by a first-time franchise owner,” said Michael Keller, CEO of Jeremiah’s Italian Ice. “That speaks to the strength of the opportunity and the connection people feel to this brand. As we continue expanding, we are looking for owners who want to build something meaningful in their communities while delivering the fun, high-quality treat experience Jeremiah’s is known for.”

The April openings include:

• Knoxville, Tennessee – Opened April 7 at 1601 Ebenezer Road in West Knoxville under owners Allison and Steven Arndrade.
• Creekside, Texas – Opened April 16 at 24225 Kuykendahl Road in Tomball under owners Mansoor and Naushin Abidi.
• Mableton, Georgia – Opened April 16 at 5015 Floyd Road SW, Unit #11C, in Mableton under father and son owners Timothy and Larry Lowe.
• Roswell, Georgia – Opened April 28 at 580 East Crossville Road in Roswell under owners David Mpofu, Nahalia Thomas and Thomas Tyler.

The new openings occur during the year’s busy season when families and guests are looking for treats and neighborhood destinations to enjoy together. The brand’s menu centers on Italian Ice, Soft Ice Cream and its signature Jelati, a layered combination of the two, creating a simple but highly craveable platform that has helped Jeremiah’s build a loyal guest following across the country.

Founded in 1996, Jeremiah’s has grown from a Florida favorite into a national franchise brand with a presence in markets across the United States. The concept is designed to deliver a high-quality, family-friendly guest experience while offering franchise owners a focused operating model built around signature products, colorful branding and local community engagement.
