Rita's Italian Ice was started in the summer of 1984 on a front porch in Bensalem, Pennsylvania by former Philadelphia firefighter Bob Tumolo. He named the dessert shop after his wife, Rita, with a family recipe using real, fresh fruit.
The brand began franchising in 1989 and now has about 600 locations. Mark and Esther McKenna purchased and opened the Galveston location, at 61st Street and Seawall Blvd., in 2010.
