Mountain Mike's Pizza says it has had an impressive first half of 2022, according to a press release.
The California-based pizza chain signed more than a dozen new franchise agreements, which includes its third multi-unit agreement in Texas in the past 12 months. Mountain Mike's currently has more than 70 franchise commitments in process. Existing franchisees make up a significant number of signed franchise agreements through Q2 2022. And, as the brand attracts new franchisees in new markets, it is seeing a dramatic increase in interest in multi-unit development agreements. Generally, these have been in the form of three to five store development deals.
Mountain Mike's opened 10 new restaurants in the first half of 2022, celebrated its 250-store milestone and ended Q2 with 255 units in operation. Several locations opened in new markets, including Idaho, Arizona and Nevada, and by the end of the year, Mountain Mike's expects to open a total of 30 restaurants.
"The many guest-friendly initiatives created in the first half of 2022 by our dedicated franchise support team, all of which have been successfully activated by our experienced and passionate franchisees, continue to establish Mountain Mike's Pizza as a go-to pizza experience in new and existing markets, and they illustrate our commitment to cementing the brand as a leader in the pizza industry," Jim Metevier, president and COO of Mountain Mike's Pizza, said in the release. "As we enter the second half of the year, the many exciting promotions that allow us to engage with our valued guests, not to mention our growing list of industry accolades, are testaments to the hard work everyone associated with the Mountain Mike's Pizza family."
