About Us:
Our Past

When Dominic Francesco Repicci immigrated from Messina Italy, to America in 1911, he brought his family’s Old World recipe for Italian Ice. At first, Dominic shared his family’s Italian Ice with friends and neighbors in South Philadelphia, but soon others were requesting this delicious Italian treat! It wasn’t long before Dominic found himself busy producing his family’s unique product to meet an overwhelming demand!

 

 

The Present

Dominic’s grandson, Frank, continues Dominic’s passion for offering a quality frozen treat. Frank opened the Chattanooga, Tennessee manufacturing plant in 1998. This facility initially supplied the concessions for the Chattanooga Parks and Recreation facilities. The popularity of Repicci’s Italian Ice grew rapidly throughout the Southeastern U.S. Now being manufactured in new facilities in Selmer Tennessee and Scottsdale Arizona Repicci's is positioned to accelerate their expansion and keep pace with the increasing demands of their products.

Today Repicci’s Italian Ice is served at thousands of locations from Philadelphia to Los Angeles and from Miami to Sacramento. (see “Our Franchisees/Distributors ”)
