Carmela's Pizzeria adds nationwide franchising program

October 30, 2014

Greenfield Farms Food and its wholly-owned subsidiary Carmela's Pizzeria announced a preliminary agreement with SoFran LLC. to develop a nationwide franchising program.

According to a news release, terms of the agreement include retaining SoFran to develop a detailed master franchise agreement, including all legal and compliance documentation, and to evaluate each of the three existing locations in Ohio to determine the best model to franchise on a nationwide scale.

"Carmela's Pizzeria has built a great concept that has the potential to be a recognizable brand throughout the Country. We look forward to working with Carmela's to launch a successful franchise program,” SoFran President Wayne Mills said in the release.

SoFran has worked with companies of all sizes, guiding them through the process of structuring new franchises, raising capital and navigating through the legal and compliance documentation required by all franchise owners and future franchisees. "Partnering with SoFran allows us to leverage their industry experience and successful track record in building Carmela's into a recognizable brand in the marketplace. Our success will be based on developing a business model for our future franchisors that offers long-term success and sustainability," Greenfield Farms Food President Ronald Heineman said.

Carmela's Pizzeria restaurants include pizza buffets, alcohol service, delivery and carry-out, depending on the location. There are currently three units in the Dayton, Ohio, market.
