Rita's opened yesterday afternoon at 1014 H Street (next door to Liberty Tree). They're doing an opening special of free water ice through July 2 (other items, including custard are not free). Flavors of the day are
posted on line. They offer Italian Ice, Cream Ice, Custard, and a line of light items, including fat free soft serve and sugar free water ice flavors.
Philadelphia Water Ice seems a little put off by the competition and is now doing free water ice samples this week as well per a recent email from the owner to the ANC6A listserve:
ReplyDeleteGood Morning,
I’m the proud owner of 2 successful businesses located on the H Street corridor of NE, Washington, DC. Spoiled & Rotten Kids Spa and Philadelphia Water Ice located @ 1210 H Street, NE. I’ve been at this location for almost 7 years. Philadelphia Water Ice not only offers you water ice, we sell the authentic Philly Cheesesteaks For those who don’t know, I owned and operated the first water ice store located in DC for 3 years. Most of you are aware that Rita’s is a big franchise however, Philadelphia Water Ice has launched a campaign “Can U Taste the Difference”….During this campaign, I’ve decided to distribute FREE samples of our water ice. I will be serving water ice from the “Water Ice truck” that will be located in front of Spoiled & Rotten Kids Spa located at 1012 H St, NE btw 12-7 all week. Thanks for your support!!!
