So who is Justin? We were founded in 1981 by Justin Arecchi who had a passion for Italian ices, gelato, ice cream and creative flavors. Once his desserts were introduced to San Antonians, they became widely known and popular among the local community. Over 40 years since our beginning, we continue to make ice cream fresh daily with original favorites and new flavors. Justin's legacy lives on through his ice cream shop, although now owned by a local corporation, Mule Restaurant Group, who is also the parent company of Rita's on the River. Visitors still travel to the shop seeking our nationally famous ice cream and are pleasantly surprised to find delicious assortments of desserts and beverages.
