Rita's Opens In North Lima

NORTH LIMA, OH (Friday, August 18, 2006) - Rita's Ices, Cones, Shakes and Other Cool Stuff, the nation's largest Italian ice chain recently opened its newest store at 9025 Market Street in North Lima.

The newest Rita's is owned by Gregory and Jill Klocek.

The couple first visited a Rita's while in Jacksonville, Florida last summer. They were impressed by the product and the extraordinary service. Rita's in North Lima offers both walk-in and drive thru service as well as the traditional walk-up window service.

"Rita's is a great product that people try once and become instant fans," said Jill Klocek. "We are excited to be able to offer this great product to even more people in Ohio."

Rita's Italian Ices are made daily and available in more than 30 different flavors. Rita's old-fashioned Frozen Custard, available in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, which is available at participating locations can be served in either a cone or cup. Rita's famous Gelati provide frozen dessert fans with the best of both worlds with its layers of Italian Ice and Frozen Custard. Rita's Misto, the coolest name in shakes, is a blend of Italian ice and creamy custard that when blended, forms a refreshing treat that can be enjoyed on the go. Rita's also offers Cream Ices for those who prefer a treat that is smoother and richer than Italian ice, but not as heavy as traditional ice cream.

Today Rita's is the nation's largest Italian Ice chain with more than 380 locations operating and another 30 under construction throughout the East Coast and as far west as Ohio. Rita's was recently named one of the Top 25 Franchise High Performers by the Wall Street Journal's ‘Startup Journal'. Franchise information can be obtained by calling 1-800-677-RITA or visiting Rita's on line at www.ritasice.com
