Happy Joe's Pizza & Ice Cream has opened key Texas markets for development and seeking operators to expand its brand into the Lonestar State.

"This is a unique opportunity to introduce Happy Joe's to future fans for the first time," Tom Sacco, president and chief happiness officer of Happy Joe's, said in a press release. "We've been bringing smiles to people for over 50 years in the Midwest, but Happy Joe's has big ambitions that can only fit inside a state as huge as Texas."

The brand is seeking franchisees who value community, legacy, family-first experiences, and want to make a healthy "return on investment," according to the release.
