Fat Boy's Pizza has announced it will begin franchising. The New Orleans-based pizza brand has six locations in the South Louisiana region and Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with two united under construction in New Orleans and two in Houston, Texas. Fat Boy's Pizza plans to have eight to 10 corporate locations with the next 24 months, according to a press release.

The concept was initially founded in 2019 by Gabe Corchiani, a businessman and restaurateur who hoped to bring a family-friendly restaurant serving New York-style pizza to his home state of Louisiana.

"We are thrilled to take this crucial next step in our brand's journey and begin launching the Fat Boys Pizza franchise opportunity," Corchiani said in the press release. "Fat Boy's Pizza has more to offer local communities than just big slices of pizza. We are proud of the family and community-oriented culture that surrounds our brand. We aim to separate ourselves within the pizza industry by having our restaurants serve as true community hubs, providing food and entertainment for the whole family, while supporting local community initiatives along the way."

The brand is targeting Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi and the Carolinas.
