Multi-Brand Operators Developing Blaze Pizza in Boise Market

Denny Wagstaff is the patriarch of a franchising family that once operated 80 KFC’s. Now he and his sons Chase and Drew operate 6 Cost Vida Fresh Mexican Grill locations and are developing Blaze Pizza in the Boise, Idaho market. The Wagstaffs have already assumed ownership of the existing Blaze Pizza locations in Meridian, Eagle, and Nampa, Idaho and have signed an agreement to bring two more restaurants to the Treasure Valley/Boise region.

“We’ve been fans of Blaze Pizza for a long time, and as restaurant operators we’ve always recognized the brand for its vibrant culture and guest experience,” said Denny, whose restaurant roots date back to his great-grandfather. “Then, when considering a development plan with Blaze, we got a better look at the leadership and support we’d receive - it’s a strong investment opportunity we couldn’t pass up. We have a great feeling about this new journey and the potential we have to grow with the brand in untapped markets.”

The Wagstaff’s experience, management style, development goals, and local market real estate knowledge will help them grow Blaze Pizza in the Idaho market.
