Q. Do I need to call ahead for ordering slush containers?
A. 1 gallons - no need to order, we always keep plenty in
stock and most flavors available everyday. 2.5 gallons - no need to order as we keep all of our basic
flavors in stock. However, our specialty flavors may need a 24-hour notice please.
Q. Do I need to order slush for a holiday weekend?
A. Yes! We do require you to call on Memorial Day weekend,
4th of July weekend and Labor Day weekend. Specialty flavors may not be available on these weekends.
Q. What is the difference between Super Premium Slush and Classic Slush?
A. Flavor-wise, there is no difference between the two. Super
Premium Slush is a more creamier, smoother texture, which is easier to scoop when frozen. Both Super
Premium and Classic are nutritious, thirst-quenching, frozen desserts. Classic Lemon will always be
served and available to purchase at our location.
Q. If my slush melts, can I re-freeze it?
A. You can re-freeze any liquid; however, you cannot
re-freeze slush. The consistency and flavor will not be the same and will form freezer crystals.
Q. How do I keep my slush cold?
A. Slush is a frozen product, therefore, you must keep it in
a freezer or a cooler full of ice at all times. However, moving the slush to the refrigerator a
half-hour before use will make the slush a scoop-able consistency.
Q. Do you accept credit cards and checks?
A. Yes, we accept credit cards, but only MasterCard and Visa
with a minimum purchase of $15.00. No, we do not accept checks.
Q. How do I go about selling your product for my business and/or renting a push-cart?
A. Go to www.richiesitalianice.com or call (617) 387-3188.
