Pizza chain Donatos is aiming to expand across the Greater Cleveland area, opening locations in western Cuyahoga County within the next few years.
The Columbus-based franchise has signed a development deal to cement its presence across northeast Ohio, according to a press release. Lane Avenue LLC aims to develop three locations in western Cuyahoga County. It's also looking for franchise partners for locations in Ohio.
The pizza brand has five stores in Greater Cleveland and its pizza is sold at 113 locations across Ohio. Donatos is offered in over 300 locations in 20 states including in 168 traditional Donatos restaurants, and its products are served in 10 sports and entertainment venues.
"Donatos has created a loyal fan base in the Greater Cleveland markets for our premium pizza made with only the freshest ingredients," Jeff Baldwin, vice president of development and franchising for Donatos, said in the release. "We have enjoyed a long history in the area and believe the time is right to continue expansion."
