January 31, 2017
Southern Pie has joined MOD Pizza's team as its ninth franchise partner, according to a press release.
Robbie Hill and Kimberly Hill Hayden, Southern Pie executives, plan to open MOD units later this year.
"We are pleased to have Southern Pie, LLC join our group of talented and passionate multi-unit operators. As we continue our expansion across the U.S., we are confident our development strategy of company-owned stores coupled with select franchise partners will be key to maintaining consistent execution while sustaining our purpose-driven culture," Scott Svenson, co-founder and CEO of MOD, said in the release. “Most importantly, Robbie and Kimberly share our commitment to growing a business that is focused on making a positive social impact.”
A father-daughter leadership duo, Hill and Hayden are industry veterans and operate Bojangles' locations in the same area.
"What appealed to us about MOD is their progressive approach to hiring along with their strong focus on a people-first culture. We are excited to make MOD the employer of choice for the region, knowing that if we attract and develop an outstanding team, we can deliver an incredible in-store experience," Hayden said.
