Pizza Guys opens 1st Corona, California store
January 6, 2021
Sacramento, California-based, Pizza Guys, is opening its first Corona, California store under the ownership of the son of the company's CEO. Twenty-seven-year-old Kamiar Nejad, son of the brand's founder and CEO Shahpour Nejad will take the reins of his first southern California location and second franchise store in the state, a news release said.
An early January opening is planned for the Hidden Valley Parkway restaurant. Kamiar Nejad currently owns one other Pizza Guys near Sacramento and hopes to open future stores in Los Angeles and San Diego areas.
"From the time I was 3 years old, I wanted to be the CEO of Pizza Guys like my dad, and my love for our restaurants and the community is stronger than ever before," the younger Nejad said in the release. "The brand is focused on our employees and customers, and truly cares about our product and the people we are serving."
As a takeout and delivery concept, when the pandemic struck, Pizza Guys already had the infrastructure in place to provide service to customers when stay-at-home orders were implemented. The brand also already had the operations and processes in place to continue to get people their food through delivery and takeout and the Corona location will also have curbside pickup and contactless delivery available.
"Pizza Guys has proven why it is one of the strongest pizza concepts in franchising," CEO Shahpour Nejad said. "We have continued to open locations so we can extend our reach and serve our customers throughout this unprecedented pandemic thanks to dedicated and knowledgeable franchise partners and our loyal customers. We are eager to open the doors at our new Corona location and begin serving the community."
The brand currently has about 70 locations in the Western U.S.
