Marco's Pizza Operator Signs New 8-Store Development Agreement 

Michael Ghanem has signed a new eight-store development agreement with Marco’s Pizza to expand his presence in Northern Virginia markets. Ghanem and his team are analyzing potential sites across Leesburg, Sterling, Herndon, Reston, Arlington, Alexandria, and Mount Vernon for his new stores. He already has one store open in Sterling, and a second location in the Reston/Herndon area will open in Q1 2023.

“When we began our search for viable franchise opportunities, we were looking for one key factor in particular - the potential for growth,” said Ghanem. “Marco’s growth journey has been nothing short of remarkable and seeing the untapped potential in Northern Virginia, we knew it was an opportune time to join the brand and grow our portfolio. We feel confidently that with the support of the Marco’s team and our drive to succeed as franchisees, we’ll be able to actualize our goal of being the No. 1 Marco’s operator in the Northeast market.”

All of Ghanem’s locations are set to open by the end of 2025.
