Jeremiah's Italian Ice Climbs Franchise Times Top 400, Ranking No. 375 for 2026

The Franchise Times Top 400 is an annual ranking of the largest U.S.-based franchise systems based on global systemwide sales. The ranking is the result of a five-month research and reporting process that provides a look at the performance and scale of franchise brands across industries.

"Earning another place on the Franchise Times Top 400 is meaningful because it reflects the continued growth of our system and the work happening every day across the Jeremiah's community," said Michael Keller, CEO of Jeremiah's Italian Ice. "As we expand, our focus remains on building a strong, sustainable brand that creates opportunity for our franchisees and keeps delivering the fun, flavorful experiences our guests expect from Jeremiah's."

Founded in 1996 and franchising since 2019, Jeremiah's has expanded its footprint throughout the Southern United States while continuing to evolve its menu and guest experience. The brand is known for 24 flavors of refreshing Italian Ice made fresh daily, rich Soft Ice Cream, its signature Jelatis, layered combinations of Italian Ice and Soft Ice Cream and its newest offering, Jelati cakes.
