History

Soon after emigrating from Sicily in 1932, Albert Mauro began making granita in his new home of Elizabeth, New Jersey.[2] Working with one machine in his home, Mauro made the dessert from his family recipe and loaded up his truck. He drove the streets of Elizabeth and Linden, New Jersey and parked outside the General Motors plant at the beginning and end of every shift. Eventually, Mauro added three more trucks and two more machines.[3][2]

In 2005, Little Jimmy's began offering its products nationwide as an Italian ice concession business.

In 2014, Little Jimmy's was purchased by Maglione's Italian Ice of Iselin, New Jersey. The Italian ice franchising continues under the Little Jimmy's name.[4]
