Toledo, OH - Marco’s Pizza, one of the fastest-growing pizza franchises in the United States, announces its new growth initiative to expand in strategic DMAs across the country, introducing 30 new locations by 2020.
The brand is offering a viable opportunity for multi-unit franchisee development in small markets - Lubbock/Longview/Tyler, Texas, Savannah, Georgia, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Shreveport, Louisiana, Boise, Idaho, Reno, Nevada, Albuquerque, New Mexico - for experienced local operators to join the growing brand. With each market requiring no more than 2-4 restaurants to be developed, new franchisees can truly own and dominate the market, taking a slice out of the booming $47 billion pizza industry. Marco’s Pizza is actively seeking qualified franchise partners in the following territories:
“Expanding our presence throughout these key DMAs is an exciting chapter for our growth story as we break into untapped markets with new franchise partners,” said Tony Libardi, president of Marco’s Pizza. “Our development team is poised for success and our initial locations in these areas will no doubt bring success to enthusiastic entrepreneurs. Marco’s Pizza is hands-down the best quality and our customer service outmatches the competition - all of which has created a loyal customer following directly contributing to our $725K average unit volume.”
The 900+ unit brand aims to reach 1,500 locations by 2020, crediting its rapid growth to its strong corporate backing, ability to take market share, unit-level profitability, authentic Italian quality food standards as well as capability to attract top talent among its franchisees. Marco’s Pizza’s commitment to its people and authenticity will drive its long-term success as it continues to expand its footprint nationwide.
Headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Marco’s Pizza is one of the fastest-growing pizza companies in the United States. Marco’s was founded in 1978 by Italian-born Pasquale (“Pat”) Giammarco and thrives by making authentic Italian quality pizza with fresh ingredients. The company has grown from its roots as a beloved Ohio brand to operate 900 plus stores in over 35 states and in three countries. Most recently, Marco’s Pizza was ranked No. 5 in Forbes “Best Franchises to Buy” 2018 Study/Medium Investment, and No. 25 on Entrepreneur’s 2018 Franchise 500 ranking.
