A representative from Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custards said the opening date for the new Meyerland location will be pushed back to early spring. The location was originally intended to open in late 2024.

In a nutshell

Rita's is known for its famous specialty frozen treats such as fresh-made Italian ice with real fruit, old-fashioned custard and gelati, a combination of Italian ice and custard. Other items on the menu include milkshakes, cookie sandwiches and frozen lemonade.

The Meyerland location will be located inside the Braes Oak Shopping Center and is part of the brand's plan to open 40 new stores.
