New franchise partners will bring the signature handcrafted gelato experience to new Arizona communities.
I Scream Gelato has done it again, this time landing a string of new stores in Arizona. The new multi-unit franchise agreement was signed this month by franchise partners Satish Kosuri and Apurva Patel and will cover five locations within the state.
“We are excited to see the continued growth of our brand, especially at the hands of Satish and Apurva. They are fantastic people and incredible owners – they will bring these communities a one-of-a-kind experience with I Scream Gelato. We are excited to be working with them,” said Amit Glass, COO of I Scream Gelato.
This expansion adds to the brand’s accelerating national footprint, bringing the total number of I Scream Gelato locations to 22, with 10 now open and 12 currently in development. With eyes on key markets like Houston and Georgia, the company is working to secure three more locations in each of those areas, with plans to add 20 new stores by the close of 2025.
“We’re not here to grow regionally – we’re here to grow everywhere,” said Glass. “We’re partnering with passionate franchisees who care deeply about product quality and customer experience. That’s how we become a household name in gelato.”
In addition to its robust support system and handcrafted menu, I Scream Gelato welcomes guests into bright, modern, and highly Instagrammable store environments – each one designed to reflect the brand’s playful spirit.
“The store design itself is even a part of the vibe of our brand,” Glass added. “It really contributes to the overall customer experience and helps set us apart from typical ice cream shops.”
I Scream Gelato continues to attract interest from across the country by offering a comprehensive franchise model that includes hands-on training, launch support, and ongoing marketing guidance. Each store showcases a wide-ranging menu of made-in-house desserts, vegan options, and alcohol-infused delights.
