Jeremiah's Italian Ice is celebrating its 26th anniversary this April as well as the milestone opening of its 50th franchise location with help from franchisees in Asheville, North Carolina.

The brand, which has seen strong success throughout the last 20-plus years, said it is continuing to find ways to innovate as a company and bolster growth, according to a press release.

"We are all so proud of the work that we have done to help make Jeremiah's the amazing frozen dessert franchise that it is," Nicole DiPietro, vice president of Jeremiah's Italian Ice, said in the release. "Our goal every step of the way is to create smiles and bring joy to every community that we enter. I am pleased to say that for the last 26 years, we have done just that and will continue to do so for the next 26 years and beyond."

Since its franchising launch in 2019, Jeremiah's has awarded more than 240 units across 102 franchise groups and has increased its footprint by more than 200% with 68 units operational across seven states.

"2021 was a year of resilience, introspection, and gratitude," Jeremy Litwack, CEO and founder, said in the release. "It was a year of putting our heads down and continuing to challenge ourselves to overcome unforeseen obstacles. Fortunately, this has led to unprecedented growth for our brand that drove us into the national spotlight in 2022. I am so proud of our team and the incredible work that they have done and continue to do. These awards are just validation for the ideas and principles that we founded this company on as well as the strong-minded individuals that continue to make Jeremiah's the outstanding brand that we had envisioned from its creation."
