What is Italian Ice?
Italian ice is a smooth blend of flavored ice, made from real fruit puree and pure cane sugar, with no artificial ingredients other than food coloring. It is similar to ice cream and sorbet but has no dairy product or egg; thus quenching thirst rather than feeding it, like ice cream does! It is different from shaved ice, Hawaiian ice, and snow cones in that, unlike the others, the syrup does not separate from the ice and settles at the bottom of the cup! Like ice cream, it is a smooth blend of flavored ice. Therefore, there is no ice to shave or crush down, and no need to haul messy bags of ice! It's fat-free, cholesterol free, has no high fructose corn syrup, and is only 15 calories per serving! Most of all...THE TASTE IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!!
Where Does It Come From?
It is a century-old recipe brought to the USA by the Maglione family from the Italian area of Sicily (hence, its name), who settled in northern NJ. People in Italy have been making variations of it for hundreds of years, but it was perfected in the United States by several Italian families! The Maglione family ships it to our cold storage warehouse in NC, where we transport it to our freezers; and where our Licensed distributors may also go to pick it up. It is shipped to us via refrigeration trucks, shrink-wrapped on pallets containing 60 five-gallon cans of Italian Ice, made fresh, direct from the family factory!
COST BREAKDOWN
DISTRIBUTION FEE: $6000 for a 5 year term.
- This term is locked in for the first three years with no early out; meaning the distributor is required to pay the first three years of the term in full before he/she can request termination. Optional renewable terms are available at the end of each term at no additional cost. Non-profit Distributorships for groups such as Churches, schools, and charities are also available at the same rates. These Licensed Distributorships pay the same rate as an Individual Distributorship, but will have a slightly higher minimum number of cans per year that must be ordered.
Either paid up front, or in monthly installments of only $100 per month for 60 months.

In addition to the one-time Distribution fee, each Distributor is required to pay royalties On all gross sales. The National average on royalty fees is anywhere between 6-8%. We are only charging 5%. Those who pay their Distributor License fee upfront are waived from paying any royalties their first year of term! All others who wish to pay the Distributor License fee monthly must pay the entire 5% royalties on all sales from beginning of term. This is automatically deducted from the cost of ice cans bought from HQ.
WHOLESALE COST
$80 per five-gallon can / $70 per 3-gal. ( includes shipping from NJ and 5% royalty fees)
- Distributors must purchase a minimum of 24 cans per year (or 34 for non-profits). Additional supplies such as logo cups and miniature baseball helmets are required, with wholesale pricing available.
- Each Distributor is required to purchase a certain number of cans per year, after the first year, in order to maintain his/her Distribution status. This is based on each geographical location, population of territory, and type of Distributorship. For example, a Distributor operating in a small rural territory is not required to purchase the same number of cans as a Distributor located in a larger, busier tourist location. Corporate reserves the right to determine what that number is, based on sales performance after the first year of term, and according to population, type of Distributorship, and demographic figures. The minimum number of cans ALL Distributors MUST purchase, regardless of territory, is 24 cans per year! Non-profit Distributors, regardless of territorial size, must order at least 34 cans per year. Any Distributor not meeting their quota will be charged for the number of cans lacking at the end of each year.
- $.08 each for logo cups (required), and $1.00 each for miniature baseball
Helmets (required). All cups and helmets MUST be purchased from the
Headquarters, at wholesale prices.
- company uniforms/shirts, as well as other apparel and gift items used for
marketing and sales must be purchased from Headquarters at wholesale
prices. No other items, including food, gifts, candy, snacks, beverages,
etc. is allowed for resale without approval of headquarters!
- all other supplies such as spoons, taster spoons, napkins, etc. are the
responsibility of Distributor, but can be purchased directly from
headquarters at corporate wholesale rates.
Cold Storage Facility Rental
Each Distributor is responsible for their own cold storage. Because pallets are shipped to us from NJ via refrigeration trucks, it is highly recommended you obtain at least 1-2 24 cubic ft. freezers to store your ice in at your own residence or shop. The wholesale price for ice includes shipping from NJ, but NOT cold storage! Distributors located within a 90 minute drive from our facility in Wilson NC may share our facility with us at a small rate of $50 per month! Cold storage facilities charge according to the amount you store, with a minimum rate of $300 or more per month. Sharing a facility with another Distributor in your area will save you money! Any Distributor desiring to arrange their own cold storage is free to do so. We can provide you a list of cold storage facilities in your area free of charge. Italian Ice is exactly what the name says…ice! Therefore, the ice must be kept frozen in order to sell! The ice is shipped to you via refrigeration trucks on pallets, and it must be delivered to a location for storage or pick up that has a forklift. No deliveries will be made without a forklift. This can be delivered to a residence, so long as proper unloading is provided. Ice is delivered up to 60 cans per pallet, with a minimum order of 10 cans per order. For local pickup, we require a minimum order of 5 cans .Any Distributor electing to have ice shipped directly from the factory, HQ will deduct $7.00 per can to help offset shipping cost.
Cart Cost

- All Owners must purchase carts with official logo and signage, AND must be bought directly from HQ. All signage must reflect official company logo, pricing, and policies. New Distributors with pre-existing carts are allowed to use their own carts and freezers, so long as official company logo and signage is displayed.
