Pizza Patrón inks 20-unit deal in Arizona
November 6, 2006
DALLAS — Pizza Patrón has signed a two-year development agreement for 20 locations in Arizona with franchise group Pizza Revolución.
According to a news release, Pizza Revolución operates eight Pizza Patron locations in five Arizona cities and will open the first of several more locations in Phoenix within the next few months.
Pizza Revolución is owned and operated by the LeVecke Family, the grandchildren of Carl Karcher, founder of Carl's Jr. The family operates 51 Carl's Jr. units, eight Pizza Patron stores and some convenience stores.
More than 65 Pizza Patrón locations will be open in the United States by the end of 2006, and another 40 are in development.
"We couldn't have chosen better partners for growth in Arizona than the LeVecke family," said Antonio Swad, founder of Pizza Patrón. "They have demonstrated themselves to be sound restaurant operators, but beyond that, they have a record of commitment to serving the Latino community with excellence and respect."
