PHILADELPHIA, PA — Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard is bringing back its limited-time 4th of Gelati through July 5 as the company seeks to capitalize on summer traffic and holiday spending during one of the busiest periods of the frozen-dessert season.
The Philadelphia-based chain announced the seasonal product’s return ahead of the Independence Day holiday, pairing the offering with a loyalty program promotion aimed at driving repeat customer visits.
The 4th of Gelati features five layers of blue Italian Ice, Vanilla Frozen Custard and red Italian Ice topped with a decorative Firecracker Glitter finish. The product is available at participating Rita’s locations nationwide.
The promotion arrives as restaurant and dessert brands increasingly rely on limited-time offerings and loyalty incentives to boost customer engagement during key seasonal sales periods.
In addition to the product launch, Rita’s will offer double loyalty punches to Rita’s Ice app users who purchase the 5-Layer Gelati between June 29 and July 5.
“At Rita’s, we’re always looking for fun and memorable ways to help our guests celebrate the moments that bring people together,” Carmela Hughley, senior vice president of marketing insights and innovation at Rita’s, stated. “This festive treat captures the spirit of the season with its patriotic layers and signature Rita’s flavors.”
The company operates hundreds of locations across the United States and markets Italian Ice, Frozen Custard and specialty frozen desserts.
The 4th of Gelati will remain available through July 5 at participating locations.
