Orlando-based Jeremiah's Italian Ice said it will open a Boca Raton store in its home state on June 29. The Glades Road store is owned and operated by Lori Cox with the help of her four children who all attended Florida Atlantic University, a news release said.

The Glades Road location is the first of three stores Cox plans to open and features two walk-up windows, indoor and outdoor seating and a hand-painted mural of local scenes. The location will also use third-party delivery "in the near future," the release said.

"I am so excited to bring Jeremiah's Italian Ice to Boca Raton and use our business to make a positive presence here locally," Lori Cox said in the release. "I love the happiness and positive energy the brand naturally spreads around and am proud to have my family work beside me helping to run the business. We want our location to have a reputation for bettering the community and the lives of those around us."

Founded in 1996 and franchising since 2019, Jeremiah's Italian Ice now has more than 40 locations throughout Florida, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Louisiana and Texas.
