Rita’s Italian Ice Franchise Information

That is because as a corporation Rita’s is dedicated to the philosophy that happy customers are the direct result of excellent service. Service is, in fact, foundational to everything that a Rita’s Ice franchise is all about.
Support and Training
Rita’s Italian Ice franchise partners are provided with a broad array of support and training. In fact, the corporation’s stated goal for each franchise is to make it the top Rita’s Italian Ice franchise. While obviously unattainable, the goal illustrates and demonstrates Rita’s commitment to the success of each of its franchisees.
Once a Rita franchise partner is approved, he is never again alone. First, Rita’s Real Estate Managers help determine and secure the best possible location for a store. Next, construction Project Managers take over, guiding Rita franchise partners through everything between securing the location and opening for business.
