Pizza Patron opens first Miami stores
April 29, 2009
MIAMI -- Latino pizza brand Pizza Patron has opened the first two of its 12 stores in a development agreement with Latitude Partners Florida LLC.
The first store opened April 13 in Miami, and the second April 27 in Hialeah, Fla.
"We've been here seven days, and some customers have been here five out of the seven days," said Daniel Feldsberg of Latitude Partners.
Feldsberg said they will spotlight each store with a grand opening event within the next few weeks. He said they plan to open the remaining 10 stores over the next two years to better serve the Miami and Fort Lauderdale areas.
"Our goal from the beginning has been to create a distinctly Latin experience at our stores which makes us unique from any other brand," said Andrew Gamm, director of brand development for Pizza Patron. "Until now, most of our Hispanic customers had roots in Mexico, but in Miami, the Latino demographic is primarily composed of Caribbean, Central and South American descent. Pizza Patron has been, and always will be, about celebrating the Latin life no matter where your roots take you."
