Plans filed to convert former convenience store into Italian Ice outpost.

Rio’s Italian Ice (not to be confused with Rita’s), “the best Italian ice in Atlanta,” is expanding its food truck operation.

The mobile Italian ice vendor submitted plans to City of Atlanta Wednesday to convert a former convenience store, at 1518 Jonesboro Road, into a brick-and-mortar Rio’s.

Flavors like Bomb Pop Rainbow, N.Y. Coconut, and Orange Pineapple will be served out of the 1,195-square-foot retail space.

Rio’s will open its first location this March, according to the Italian ice retailer’s website.
