Nashville, Tennessee-based Hunt brothers is lighting the candles on its 30th birthday cake this morning – a feat realized as the chain racks up more than 8,000 outlets nationally, according to a news release.

The brand that was first begun by brothers, Don, Charlie, Jim and Lonnie — the Hunt Brothers, is the nation's largest made-to-order pizza brand in the convenience store industry. CEO Scott Hunt and the second Hunt family generation attribute the company's success to its mission of "being a blessing" to c-stores and their communities and "keeping it simple" when it comes to their offerings and how their program operates.

"We are proud to have grown Hunt Brothers Pizza into the consistent, simple and easily manageable program it is today, one that helps our c-store partners become more valuable, and in turn, more profitable," Scott Hunt said in the release.

Hunt also notes how much pride it brings to hear from longtime partners who have boosted sales and whose businesses have thrived with the help of their pizza program.
