Experience
CEO President
May 2023 — Present · Orlando, FL, US
Jeremiah\'s Italian Ice is a rapidly growing, franchised, multi-unit, frozen dessert retailer based in Orlando, Florida. Jeremiah\'s was founded 27 years ago by Jeremy Litwak, who created incredibly bold, flavorful and smooth Italian ice flavors that are at the core of the menu. Layer one of those flavors with rich, creamy soft serve ice cream, and you get a Gelati. Layer that Gelati with something like Oreo or Biscoff cookie crumbles, or sprinkles, and you get a Flavorite. Jeremiah\'s colorful stores, enthusiastic \"frog squad\" crews, and tasty treats all encourage its guests to live life to the coolest!
