Jeremiah’s Italian Ice launching DFW store

Jeremiah's Italian Ice, based in Orlando, Florida, is opening another store in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The location, in the Crest Center Shopping Center, is owned by former Jeremiah's employee Megan Bourke, according to a press release. The store is Bourke's second Jeremiah's Ice location within the state of Texas, having already opened a location in McKinney.

Originally from Jeremiah's home market in Orlando, Bourke worked at that brand for two years while in college, starting as a server and eventually moving up to a supervisor role.

"I really enjoyed my time working at Jeremiah's in college and I was looking for a way to get involved with the brand again," Bourke said in the release. "The bond among the employees was very special and the brand's dedication to providing a high quality, enjoyable experience for its customers was something I wanted to remain a part of. Being able to open my own Jeremiah's store is a dream come true, and I can't wait to share Jeremiah's delicious frozen treats and family-friendly environment with the Lewisville community."

The opening of the brand's location in Lewisville marks the next step in the brand's expansion throughout the Lone Star State.

"We are extremely excited to further strengthen our DFW area presence with our new Lewisville location," Jeremy Litwack, founder of Jeremiah's Italian Ice, said in the release. "We are proud to have franchise partners like Megan who bring extensive industry experience and a passion for the brand to the table and are confident they will make their new shop a local attraction."
