Pizza Patrón inks 12-store deal in Miami
November 12, 2008
DALLAS -- Latino pizza brand Pizza Patrón has signed a development agreement with Latitude Partners Florida LLC to develop twelve stores in the Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., areas, the company announced. The group plans to have the first unit open in early December, and a site search is currently under way for all twelve locations.
The company expects to have two units open by the end of January.
"Given that Southeast Florida is the third largest Latin-American market in the United States, we see a great potential for the development and growth of the Pizza Patron brand in the area," said Latitude Partners spokesman Daniel Feldsberg. "We are sure that the Pizza Patron concept will be very attractive to the diverse and culturally-rich Latin community of Dade and Broward counties."
The agreement marks the first time Pizza Patrón will be targeting a significant non-Mexican Latino population.
"It has always been our goal to serve every Latino community in the U.S," said Antonio Swad, founder of Pizza Patrón Inc. "Our entrance into the South Florida market allows us to reinforce that commitment - we are ready for the challenge."
