Rita’s, the largest Italian Ice concept in the nation and the first in Arizona, has opened at 8251 W. Union Hills Dr., Suite 105 (83rd Ave and Union Hills, SE corner, just West of the 101).

Rita’s signature product is its Italian Ice (often referred to as water ice) which is much smoother than a snow cone and combines ice with real fresh fruit; made on-site daily from scratch and served within 36-hours. 

Rita’s Arrowhead is open weekdays from 12 noon-9 pm and weekends from 12 noon to 10 pm.  Call the store at (602) 909-8566 for directions or to learn the flavors of the day.  Follow us on Facebook at Rita’s Arrowhead, or on our website: www.RitasFranchises.com/Arrowhead

Real fruit adds dramatically to the flavor of the ice, which comes in over 30 different varieties including the standard Cherry and Lemon, Strawberry, Wild Black Cherry, Banana, Blueberry, Raspberry just to name a few. Rita’s also offers Cream Ice—Italian Ice flavors that are as smooth and silky as ice cream but without the heaviness. Cream ice flavors include Cookies N Cream, Mint Chocolate Chip, Fudge Brownie, Cheesecake Cream and more.
In addition to its famous Italian Ice, the chain offers Old Fashioned Frozen Custard and layered Gelati as well as its signature Misto™ and Blendini™ creations. Rita’s brand promise is Ice, Custard and Happiness™. 

“Opening Rita’s here in Arizona is a dream come true, as I have grown up loving Rita’s in my home state of Pennsylvania, where Rita’s is based,” said Barbara Knight, owner.  “The quality and unique variety of our ices speak for themselves and is why Rita’s is enjoyed by so many people.”
