Jeremiah's Italian Ice to open new locations in Baton Rouge, Ascension Parish
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A frozen dessert shop is expanding in the Baton Rouge area this summer.
Jeremiah's Italian Ice is aiming to open another shop in Baton Rouge and their first in Ascension Parish. They opened their first location in September 2022 at 3260 Highland Road.
The second location in Baton Rouge will be at 4343 S Sherwood Forest Blvd Ste A.
The store in Ascension Parish will be located at 117 N Airline Highway in Gonzales.
According to Franchise Operating Partner, Cody Loveland, the Gonzales location is tracking to open at or around the same time as the second location in Baton Rouge.
Loveland said the Gonzales location is on track to open in late May or early June.
As for the location on Sherwood Forest Boulevard, he said they will hold a soft opening and then a grand opening around a month after that.
The franchise operating partner gave many reasons why they are opening this second location including the presence of a drive-thru, many churches and schools in the area and a low build out cost.
Whichever store that customers go to, they can expect to see their authentic Italian Ice, soft ice cream, Jelati and Jelati cakes. Loveland said Jelati is a 'perfect layering of any of our Italian Ice flavors and our rich soft ice cream.'

Jeremiah's Italian Ice also has locations in Covington and Mandeville.
Loveland said Jeremiah's Italian Ice is aiming to open a shop in Youngsville this summer too. If all goes well, there will be six stores in Louisiana before summer ends.
The first Jeremiah's Italian Ice opened in Winter Park, Fla. in 1996.
