Marco's Pizza President Tony Libardi sent an open letter to the nation today calling attention to the brand's readiness to respond to community members in areas around its stores in the current pandemic. In the letter, Libardi highlighted the work of many franchisees to help families nearby find free lunches, even as schools close in places like Arkansas, the letter said.
In the northwest section of that state, franchisee Nick Morgan helped spark a movement via a Facebook post that has now been shared more than 12,000 times to direct families to sources of free lunches. Libardi said many other franchisees have undertaken similar efforts or sponsored community giveback programs and other essential services.
