Although temperatures will be dropping all day in the Pittsburgh region, one business is inviting people to celebrate the start of spring with free frozen treats.
It’s Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard’s annual tradition to celebrate spring with a giveaway. This year, the business expects its over 575 locations to give out around 1 million six-ounce cups of Italian ice on Thursday.
Guests looking for more free treats can also enter a sweepstakes for the chance to win free Italian ice for a year. Click here to learn more.
Rita’s is also using the celebration to highlight its newest flavor: Skittles. The fruity flavor is inspired by the taste of a “handful of Skittles” and will only be available for a limited time.
