Alexandria Residents Keep Cool With Rita’s Ice

Ice Ice Baby!

Alexandria Residents don’t have to go far to keep cool this summer.  Just off of Little River Turnpike, conveniently close to I-395 is the newest location for Rita’s Ice.

About a year ago my friend Zakiya Bates and I were having breakfast at IHOP talking about our futures.  She told me how she and her husband Kevin had been tossing around the idea of opening up a Rita’s Ice franchise.  As a metro DC resident, I had never heard of Rita’s Ice, but to hear Zakiya describe the different treats was enough to spark my interest as well. 

After months of scouting around different locations, planning, and executing, Kevin and Zakiya’s dream goal has finally become a reality!
