May 22, 2025
Happy Joe's Pizza & Ice Cream has entered Florida with a location in Navarre that opened last month. The brand has a record turnout for its prototype restaurant, according to a press release.
The new Harrison designed prototype location pulled in $91,000 in gross sales for its first week, setting the highest-ever opening week total and the highest single-day sales for the Iowa-based brand.
"We knew Florida was going to be a great market, but the unveiling of our new prototype in Navarre exceeded every expectation," Tom Sacco, CEO and chief happiness officer of Happy Joe's Pizza & Ice Cream, said in the press release. "Our franchisees did an incredible job preparing for the opening, and the community welcomed us with open arms. Happy Joe's is all about creating joyful experiences for families, and to do that while breaking company records makes this opening even more rewarding."
The Navarre location is Happy Joe's 47th systemwide in the U.S.
Happy Joe's was founded in 1972. The brand has three company-owned and 44 franchised locations.
