Del s Frozen Lemonade opening in Arlington this spring
Del’s Frozen Lemonade, a staple of Rhode Island, will be coming to Arlington.
Del s Lemonade Boston has submitted an application to the town to open up at 1050 Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington Heights.
The location will operate similar to an ice cream stand, with service being done exclusively via a window that looks out onto the sidewalk. Del’s will sell their trademark frozen lemonade, as well as ice cream, pretzels, hot dogs, popcorn and other fair-style food and sweets.
Angelo DeLucia founded the company in 1948 in Cranston, Rhode Island, using a push cart that contained a machine that could produce the frozen lemonade made using a recipe that DeLucia’s father, Franco, had brought over from Italy. The company has dozens of locations, mostly located in Rhode Island, with a few locations in southeastern Massachusetts.
