In 2009, in the midst of a recession, James acquired a single scoop shop with only $1800 to his name. Days before he was set to open, the store was gutted by a fire. He found a garage to make gelato in, then moved to a 100-foot commissary space to begin wholesale and make the first few batches of what would one day become Righteous Gelato. He trusted that if he could be in the hearts and minds of people, maybe one day they would welcome our gelato into their homes. By 2015, the little-gelato-shop-that-could became an example to others on using business as a force for good, and with the support of the community (all of you), we built our now-famous Gelato Factory and Coffee Bar. Fire struck again only a few months after opening and almost put us out of business when we were right at the verge of becoming a national brand. However, the sheer will, commitment and ambition of the team resurrected the facility, and ultimately became our most defining moment. No matter what happens, we know we can overcome it together. Righteous's unique flavour offerings, one of a kind packaging & passionate brand promise in building something that matters is the steady foundation for creating a company that pushes the limits on what it means to be an innovative culture and a steward for the environment and community. The purpose driven team at Righteous stands by their mission to enrich people's lives. They just happen to do it by making gelato.
