History
Our story began in 2002 when our first store opened in the heart of Sydney. Word-of-mouth spread and before long, there were queues out the door! Since we started franchising in 2004, we've shared our tasty formula for success and extended our family of like-minded gelato lovers.
Today we have stores across Australia, as well as globally across Singapore, Philippines, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, India and the USA. We're always growing and invite you to be a part of this journey with us as we share the love with delicious gelato!
