How the Franchise Started?

Gelatissimo was founded in 2002 in Sydney, Australia, by Domenico and Anthony Shina. The journey began with a humble setup, including a small freezer and a gelato truck, allowing them to introduce authentic Italian gelato to the Australian market.

Their innovative approach, such as offering gelato in display cabinets at street fairs, quickly gained popularity, leading to the opening of their first store on King Street, Sydney.

In 2004, Gelatissimo transitioned to a franchise model, rapidly expanding across Australia and internationally.
