Now he has teamed up with frozen dessert brand Jeremiah’s Italian Ice in a new 22-unit area representative deal for locations in Chattanooga, Knoxville, Pigeon Forge, and the Tri-Cities area. Five locations are expected to open in the next 18 months. A North Murfreesboro Jeremiah’s is expected to open later this spring. Davis, who owns and operates DT Ventures, LLC, has extensive franchising and local market knowledge that will help him establish and build the brand in Tennessee. “I was drawn into Jeremiah’s based on the quality of the product and the great work environment that employees get to experience every day,” said Davis. “Jeremiah’s Italian Ice has an extremely large and loyal fan base in Florida, and I know it will grow quickly across Tennessee. The brand’s company culture keeps team members and guests coming back again and again.” - Get Started in Franchising - Franchise Rankings & Awards - Franchise Sales & Development - Featured Franchise Stories Franchising.com is produced by Franchise Update Media.
