Multi-brand franchisee, Ron Chadwick, has assumed ownership of the Reno Red Rock Pizza Factory store.

Chadwick's nephew, Kyle Hess, will serve as the store's general manager, according to a news release. Chadwick also owns five L&L Hawaiian Barbecue stores in Reno and Houston.

"As I began searching for my next business venture in the restaurant space, I came across Pizza Factory and was imminently drawn to its strong relationships with its customers and brand values," Chadwick said in the release. "I truly have a passion for restaurant operations and I am extremely excited to start my ownership journey with Pizza Factory, especially with its history of success in Reno alone. I see a thrilling future with Pizza Factory and am eager to continue expanding with the brand."

At his L&L restaurants, Chadwick has provided free meals and even free trips to a local teacher and two students. He hopes to implement similar initiatives at his Pizza Factory location in Reno.

"With business experience and a dedication to giving back like Ron's, it is clear he upholds all of the qualities that make a great Pizza Factory owner," Pizza Factory CEO Mary Jane Riva said in the release. "His understanding of operations, community involvement and passion for the restaurant industry makes him the perfect fit to lead our Reno Red Rock location. I have no doubt he will continue to make the restaurant not only a success but a community staple and I am looking forward to seeing him grow with our brand."
