I Scream Gelato Continues US Expansion with First Michigan Franchise
Growing gelato brand expands its national footprint with new Midwest market
Michigan (Restaurant News Release) I Scream Gelato, the frozen treat franchise known for its authentic, house-made Italian gelato, has announced its newest location coming soon to Michigan – the first for the state. The new store will be owned and operated by franchise partner Dave Phillips.
“Dave has been an incredible addition to the I Scream Gelato family,” said Amit Glass, COO of I Scream Gelato. “His passion for quality, his connection to the local community, and his entrepreneurial drive made him stand out from the start. We’re confident he’s going to bring something truly special to Michigan.”
I Scream Gelato currently operates nine locations across Florida, Colorado, Texas, and Ohio, with additional markets already secured as the brand expands into new regions.
“We have five more signed in Austin, five in Arizona, and another in Dallas, all in the pipeline,” added Glass. “Michigan adds to that momentum beautifully, and it’s a clear sign that our commitment to handcrafted, premium gelato made daily from authentic Italian ingredients is connecting with communities all across the country.”
Interest in the concept continues to grow as the company focuses on a deliberate strategy for market-by-market expansion.
“We’re continuing to grow strategically across the U.S.,” Glass added. “Our focus remains on finding the right franchisees in the right markets – people who share our values and commitment to excellence. Exciting things are ahead.”
Franchise partners joining I Scream Gelato receive a structured, turnkey system designed to support long-term growth and success. This includes hands-on training, site selection and buildout guidance, marketing support, and ongoing operational guidance.
Each boutique-style location features a modern environment and a menu of handcrafted gelato created with ingredients sourced straight from Italy. Visitors can also indulge in specialty desserts, vegan items, and beverage options like espresso, lattes, and smoothies.
For those considering the entrepreneurial jump, Glass has this to say:
“I Scream Gelato is not just a dessert shop – it’s an experience rooted in quality, authenticity, and community,” Glass said. “If you’re passionate about food, hospitality, and being part of something that’s growing fast with a strong brand identity and proven model, this is a rare opportunity to get in early on something special.”
