Update on Loudoun County’s first Pitango gelato shop

Construction work is underway on the first Pitango gelato shop coming to Loudoun County – and now we have an update on the store’s timeline to opening.

As The Burn first reported last October, the Pitango gelato brand is moving into a vacant space at the South Riding Market Square shopping center.

That’s the Giant-anchored center next to Home Depot just south of Highway 50 at Loudoun County Parkway.

Pitango has taken over the corner space near the Giant that was previously a GameStop video game store.

The future Pitango space at the South Riding Market Square shopping center.

We reached out to Pitango’s headquarters for an update on the South Riding store’s timeline and we were told right now – they are aiming for an early August opening. So if that holds – just over a month to go.

Founded in 2006, Pitango is a local brand that now has eight locations around the DMV. In 2023, the company started franchising looking to grow up and down the East Coast.
