Starpoint Brands, a division of United Franchise Group, has announced the launch of Big Flavor Brands, a specialty division of the company, which works with The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, Graze Craze, and its newest brand, Cannoli Kitchen Pizza, according to a press release.
Cannoli Kitchen Pizza was founded in 1996 in Boca Raton, Florida, and has seven restaurants throughout South Florida.
"This newly franchised concept is a locally grown, family-owned business, and a great fit for our brand culture. It differentiates itself because of its ability to 'take over' vacant pizzeria spaces and quickly convert them to the successful Cannoli Kitchen Pizza locations, adapting and saving time and expense," A.J. Titus, president of Starpoint Brands, said in the release.
"We're excited to deploy our franchise development strategy for Cannoli Kitchen Pizza, which includes start-up and conversion opportunities for new franchisees and independent pizzeria operators alike," Ray Titus, CEO of UFG, said in the release. "This concept offers a unique opportunity in a booming industry with an affordable investment, multiple streams of revenue, and complete support provided by UFG."
