D’lites Ice Cream Shops Adds Mid-Atlantic Territory Developer

Annapolis, MD, October 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- D’lites Ice Cream Shops announced that it has finalized an agreement with Emilio (Mel) Chiodo of Annapolis, MD to serve as Territory Developer for the Maryland, DC and Delaware region.

The D’lites Ice Cream Shops chain is known for its famous brand of low fat and low calorie soft serve ice cream products. With over 29 years in business and over 25 D’lites Ice Cream shops in the US, Mexico and Central America, the company is now implementing a national rollout of its popular Ice Cream shops.

As Territory Developer, Mr. Chiodo will serve as the company's key contact in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US.

Mr. Chiodo brings over 30 years of experience in the commercial tenant fit-out business and in the management and business development of a wide range of planning, engineering and architectural projects throughout the southern and mid- Atlantic states. Mr. Chiodo’s business experience and projects span many industries and includes the modification of Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuits restaurants for a major Pennsylvania multiple franchise operation.

Mr. Chiodo will oversee new store development and provide comprehensive assistance to new D'Lites Ice Cream Shop owners in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The Mid-Atlantic region is an important cornerstone for the national rollout of the D’lites Ice Cream Shops chain.

Mr. Chiodo stated, “D’lites is one of the most exciting opportunities I’ve seen in the industry because of its unique quality products and its potential for rapid growth. The licensing concept is particularly important because licensed shop owners have the freedom to tailor their shops to meet the needs of their customers. With the ever growing consciousness towards healthier food products D’lites Ice Cream Shops are very well suited for any market in the US. I look forward to working with D’lites to launch their expansion into the mid-Atlantic market.”

The original D’lites Shop was established in 1982 in Plantation, FL where it continues to operate today. The Ice Cream product was originally developed by the founder to meet certain special dietetic needs. The success of the original store enticed others to license the product and open their own D’lites shops.

The company is well positioned to build on its foundation of quality and service to further develop the chain.
