Jeremiah’s Italian Ice has appointed a new CEO to run the chain of 116 shops, the latest Orlando-based company to have a new face in charge.
Michael Keller was revealed as Jeremiah’s new CEO and president in a news release Tuesday. Keller’s experience includes working as CEO and president of Pearson Candy Company as well as chief marketing officer of International Dairy Queen, the release said.
“Jeremiah’s has grown at an incredible pace,” said Jeremy Litwack, founder of privately held Jeremiah’s, in the release. “After 27 years and more than 100 locations opening and operating, I feel that now is the time to pivot my focus, opening the door for new leadership with the skillset and background necessary to take our brand to the next level.”
Litwack expects to serve as a “brand ambassador” going forward.
