About Us!
IORIO's is a family-owned business that was established in 2004. "Iorio" is the last name of the founders' Italian ancestors. The company was started to bring a new product (Italian ice) to the Midwest, so that Midwesterners could enjoy the delightful treat that is commonly found on the East Coast. Co-Founder Mary said at the time of establishment, “Since I was a little girl, my family has traveled to the New Jersey shore for vacation. Every summer I looked forward to the warm beaches and refreshing Italian ice. Growing up with this experience, I was able to see the joy such a tasty treat brought to all people. My family and I decided to bring the traditional east coast staple to the Midwest, and created Iorio Italian Ice. For the past two summers I have witnessed diverse people, young and old, at various events experience the joy Italian ice brings. This includes selling at the Ann Arbor Art Fair, where we nearly tripled our sales from the first year to the second year. People now seek out our product at events we have been at in previous years.” With the help of her family, Mary brought this East Coast staple to the Midwest, where it has put smiles on people of all ages!
