Dayton Daily News:
Beth Rogers says she and her husband, Kyle, loved treats from Ritter’s Frozen Custard — loved them enough to sell them.
The couple, who previously worked as youth ministers, bought the 2531 Dayton-Xenia Road store in April of last year from another franchisee, Rogers said.
In the coming years, TruFoods LLC, parent of Ritter’s Frozen Custard, will want to enlist others such as the Rogers as the company expands operations in Dayton and other major Ohio cities.
Gary Occhiogrosso, chief development officer for TruFoods, said plans call for the company to add up to five Ritter’s stores in the Dayton area over the next several years.
“Franchisees are a very important piece of the expansion equation,†he said.
