We wish to congratulate our partners, Jeremiah's Italian Ice, on the opening of their 150th location and the debut of their very first co-branded location with Tropical Smoothie Cafe. With only 16% of US Franchises ever reaching 100 units, this milestone marks a significant accomplishment in franchising. Pivotal Growth Partners is honored to have this opportunity over the last five years to help guide the brand's expansion as it looks to bring its tasty treats and culture of cool nationwide. "Partnering with Jeremiah's Italian Ice has been an incredible journey," Cameron Cummins, co-founder of Pivotal Growth Partners, said in the release. "A key factor in rapid franchise development is a strategic business development plan, and it has been an honor to work alongside the team to develop the foundation for such explosive growth. Jeremiah's drive and dedication to their mission has yielded them great success thus far, and we at Pivotal Growth Partners look forward to continuing our commitment to growing the brand together and reaching new heights in the coming years."
