Franchising
Pizza Factory experiences milestone growth in 2021
December 29, 2021
Pizza Factory ramped up franchising efforts in 2021, according to a press release.
Garnering attention from multiple experienced restaurant operators, Pizza Factory signed a total of 12 franchise agreements and expanded its West Coast roots into 11 new markets, three of which marked the brand's entrance into new states.
The brand also launched its Pizza Factory Express model. Following the launch, the first Express prototype location opened in Fate, Texas — the first unit to open in Texas.
In addition, Pizza Factory signed two other milestone agreements in brand new states: Georgia and Oregon. Other signed agreements were inked to expand their footprint in Southern California, the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Valley, California, Texas, Washington and Arizona.
"I'm thrilled with the momentum Pizza Factory experienced this year," Pizza Factory CEO Mary Jane Riva said in the release. "From introducing our concept to three new states to debuting our new Express model to experiencing our best sales in 12 years, it was definitely a year to remember. All that we accomplished is a testament to our incredible system of corporate team members and new and existing franchisees. We welcomed a number of owners in 2021, most of which were longtime fans of Pizza Factory. It's exciting to look back on the milestones we hit this year. In 2022, I'm looking forward to seeing our concept continue to thrive and maintaining our reputation as an innovative West Coast pizza icon."
Pizza Factory operates more than 100 locations.
