BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A frozen dessert shop is expanding in the Baton Rouge area this summer.

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.
