New Eagle Boys store to open every 19 hours
June 21, 2009
WEST END, Queensland -- Eagle Boys Pizza, Australia's third largest pizza maker, will open a new store every 19 hours during the last eight days of the financial year, capping off 12 months of strong store growth and sales.
During June 22-30, Eagle Boys will open 10 new stores across the company's standard, micro, local and express store models. The new stores are located in Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia.
Eagle Boys expects to overtake Pizza Hut as the nation's second biggest pizza chain within the next 12 months. The company is on track to have 400 stores operating by 2011.
Eagle Boys Pizza managing director Todd Clayton said a revamped pizza menu had helped spur double-digit year-on-year sales growth in recent weeks.
"In the current market, pizza has proven to be recession proof," he said. "Today, Australian families are looking to feed the family without breaking the bank. They are eating out at restaurants less, but still want to enjoy a quality meal."
