Mountain Mike's ended its fiscal year 2020 with total system sales up 13.3%, while same-store sales grew 7.3% over what they had been in 2019. All despite its dining rooms being closed for most of the year, a news release said.

The Newport Beach, California-based chain, said those results are a record, handily beating out the previous record sales in 2019.

"We are so proud of our franchisees who responded to every challenge during this most difficult of years," Co-CEO/owner Chris Britt, said in the release. "Remarkably, this year we had a handful of franchised restaurants break the $2 million annual sales barrier for the first time in the brand's history, with the average sales of our top 50% of restaurants achieving close to $1.2 million in annual sales. It really has been breathtaking to see the growth in restaurant count and sales that many of our franchisees have experienced over the past few years."

Amidst the pandemic, Mountain Mike's Pizza opened 15 additional restaurants, and signed agreements to expand into new states in the Western U.S., including a more than 60-unit development deal in Arizona and Utah.

In 2021, the brand plans to launch a new mobile app and guest loyalty program, while actively expanding into Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Utah, with approximately 25 new Mountain Mike's Pizza restaurants planned for 2021.

Mountain Mike's currently has more than 230 units in the Western U.S.
