The Main Course served up something sweet when Nicole Di Pietro, Vice President at Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, dropped in to talk all about these tasty frozen treats served up with a smile.

Jeremiah’s Italian is no newbie to the frozen treat stage; they’ve been scooping Italian Ice since 1996. Florida residents know Jeremiah’s, where it established a following, but now one can find their ices in nine states and counting.

But Jeremiah’s is more than just a frozen treat venue. Di Pietro said they are a concept that’s serving experiences. “We are a people business that happens to be serving a delicious and indulgent treat.”

Di Pietro was a Jeremiah’s customer long before she joined the team. At this time, Jeremiah was looking to expand and not so coincidentally looking for Di Pietro’s help in making it a reality. “So, that’s what we’ve been putting in place for the past five years,” Di Pietro said. “To get to the point where we can actually share our culture, our experience, and our product with communities all across the Southeastern United States.”

There are twenty-four-to-twenty-six Italian Ice flavors available at all Jeremiah’s locations at any given time. Combine these ices with Jeremiah’s creamy vanilla or chocolate ice cream and the Magnifica Creazione; the Gelati is at one’s waiting fingertips. Mix and match to one’s heart’s content, and with additional toppings available, Di Pietro said there’s no end to the flavor combinations.

And great news for frozen treat fans; Di Pietro said there is no one target demographic for Jeremiah’s Italian Ice. All are welcome, and all are deserving of a tasty boost. They are a family-oriented establishment, but no matter how large or small someone’s family is—step inside Jeremiah’s, and they’ll treat you like one of their own.

Drive-thru crews talk less at the window when voice AI takes the order

Drive-thru crews talk less at the window when voice AI takes the order

Intouch Insight’s 2026 drive-thru mystery shops found voice AI fully handled 40% of encounters, up from 20%, and order accuracy rose. The shift shows up at the window: when AI took the order, active verbal engagement dropped. That suggests operators may need to focus on coaching and window standards as they scale voice AI.

  • 01Scorecards that track only speaker speed and accuracy could improve with voice AI even as untracked window behaviors slip, so operators may need to measure the window separately.

STONEY ginger beer trades its brown bottle for clear PET in South Africa

STONEY ginger beer trades its brown bottle for clear PET in South Africa

STONEY ginger beer, a Coca-Cola brand in South Africa, is switching from brown to clear PET bottles, starting with the 2.25-litre size in June 2026. SPRITE made the same move from green. Coca-Cola says labels and closure colours will carry STONEY recognition, and the rest of the range shifts over time.

  • 01Once STONEY goes clear, the label and the cap carry the brand, so those specs need the same lock-down the brown tint used to get.
  • 02The STONEY move follows SPRITE’s switch from green to clear plastic bottles in South Africa, and could signal a brand-by-brand approach to coloured bottles.
  • 03The signal to watch is the next STONEY size to go clear: so far only the 2.25-litre bottle is confirmed, and no dates have been given for the rest of the range.
