 1. Tell us about the start of LITTLE JIMMY'S ITALIAN ICE business?
“Our grandfather, Albert Mauro, whose name was changed to Moore when he came to America 75 years ago through Ellis Island, started Little Jimmy's Italian Ice,” says Tommy, another Moore brother. “He took the idea of Italian Ice from his home of Sicily and made a formula for the United States.
“Albert got started by making his ice, putting it in an insulated cooler inside his truck, and selling the Italian Ice to factory workers as they changed shifts. The business grew from there.”
Harry Moore, Albert's son and the father of the four brothers, took over the business, named for Albert's youngest son Jimmy, in 1971. At that time, 25 company-owned trucks — all used postal delivery vehicles — were converted into Italian Ice trucks. Routes were assigned, and drivers were paid hourly, plus commission.

3. What is the secret behind the success of LITTLE JIMMY'S ITALIAN ICE
Little Jimmy's Italian Ice is made from a 75-year-old secret recipe, known only to two of the four Moore brothers: Jeffery and one other who wants to remain anonymous. The brothers, along with their father Harry, own and operate the company.
Jeffery, who is the company's icemaker, says “our Italian Ice is hand made from a mixture of ice, water, sugar, natural and artificial flavorings, and a stabilizer, all mixed together in a large tank. “This mixture is pumped into old fashion machines that whip the mixture from a liquid into slush. The slush is then pumped into three or five gallon containers, which are immediately placed in a freezer and frozen solid.”
It takes about two hours to make one batch of Little Jimmy's Italian Ice. One batch produces about 250 gallons of ice. Only one flavor is made per day.
Little Jimmy's Italian Ice comes in 20 flavors. The top flavors have consistently been, in order: cherry, lemon, blueberry, and mango.
