Now Open! It’s Time For New Jersey’s First Scoop Of The Season
All locations are now open!!
Driving past this spring and summer hotspot during the winter, when the building is dark and vacant, is always so depressing.
That's why it was such a welcoming sight when I noticed the lights were on and a line was starting to form.

It was the first sign that spring is right around the corner!
I just assumed they opened on March 20th, so I was pleasantly surprised when I drove past and saw people with a large cherry water ice (or maybe you say Italian ice) in hand.

All Rita's Locations Are Now Open
Rita's opened on March 1st, and although the weather isn't the greatest today, there's still a lot of excitement in the air with the opening of all locations in New Jersey and other states.
And don't forget that you'll soon be able to get a FREE water ice to kick off the first day of spring!
On March 20th, don't forget to take advantage of this sweet deal (a FREE 6-ounce water ice) they've been doing for the past 25 years.
Are you going to opt for cherry or mango? Both happen to be the most popular flavors.
Or you can go with any of the more than 60 flavors they have available.
My favorite is the Galati with vanilla custard and cherry water ice!
I'm hoping to stop there today or at any of these other amazing ice cream places in New Jersey.
