PizzaForno, a provider of automated pizza machines, has expanded to New Orleans with locations at the University of New Orleans, LSU Medical Center and the New Orleans VA Medical Center to be operated by a trio of local licensees, according to a press release.
The grand opening event is set for Sept. 29 on the campus of University of New Orleans.
Entrepreneurs Miller Engelhardt, Andrew Herrington and Robert Laurent plan to expand PizzaForno across the South.
The entrepreneurs will donate a percentage of sales one day a week, from each location indefinitely, to Team Fleur de Que and Hogs for The Cause, an organization that works with hospitals nationwide to create partnerships, funds and housing to mitigate financial burdens for pediatric brain cancer diagnoses.
"PizzaForno units are designed to fit perfectly in prime high-foot traffic areas, maximizing use of space with only 65 square feet and zero on-site labor," Engelhardt said in the press release.
