Gelatissimo Insights with Chief Development Officer Anthony Shina.
What’s one thing that stands out about Gelatissimo? It’s that we’re not just about delivering delicious gelato, we’re about creating lasting experiences and building a brand that keeps on growing. From the first store opening in 2002, to now being Australia’s largest gelato retail brand, Gelatissimo remains a family run business, and the journey continues to be nothing short of exhilarating.
Strategic Expansion Across Australia and Beyond
But here’s where things get even more exciting: Gelatissimo isn’t just on the rise, it’s already well on its way to becoming an international powerhouse. The past six months have been a testament to that growth, with six new stores opening across the country in some of the most thriving markets. Broadbeach and Pacific Fair in QLD, Norwest and Sydney CBD in NSW, Marion in SA, and Watergardens in VIC, each location chosen strategically to bring our brand to more people, more often. The proof is in the numbers, and this expansion shows no sign of slowing down with more stores opening nationally across 2025. And it’s not just Australia, Gelatissimo has also opened two stores in the USA, with a third on the way. This international growth is a clear indication that the demand for our premium gelato knows no borders.
Award Winning Innovation and Excellence
But it doesn’t stop there. Gelatissimo’s commitment to innovation and excellence was recognised on the national stage. At the 2024 QSR Awards, the brand was celebrated with the prestigious Best Brand Transformation award. This accolade marked a pivotal moment for the business, reflecting our investment in modernising the brand while staying true to our passion for quality gelato.
