May 07, 2021 // Franchising.com // TOLEDO - Marco’s Pizza is on pace for a remarkable 2021 following a strong year in 2020. In addition to signing 88 new franchise agreements since the start of the year, the brand has also signed multiple area development deals to bring a total of 20 units to Colorado, which is all part of a larger strategy to grow its 1000-plus unit footprint by more than 10% this year.
“Our teams have been busy working to lower unit buildout costs while simultaneously driving higher sales,” explained Tony Libardi, Co-CEO & President of Marco’s Pizza. “This, paired with ease of funding, has created an opportune time for both existing and prospective franchisees to grow with Marco’s.”
“We remained incredibly adaptive during the pandemic - rapid expansion of third-party delivery, new contact-free delivery and curbside pickup options - and that innovation will continue to serve our network well for years to come,” added Libardi.
Founded by a native Italian, Marco’s has carved out a niche in the industry for authentic Italian quality pizza. The brand recently rolled out a refreshed ad campaign with a new tagline, “Pizza Lovers Get It.” Designed to speak to the pizza lovers of America, Marco’s is on a mission to celebrate and validate the obsessive love of pizza.
