Sarpino's USA is reporting 2022 as one if its most successful years in the company's history after signing four franchise agreements to develop 10 locations in the coming years, according to a press release.

Two of the four agreements were multi-unit development agreements to launch the company's operations in the Miami, Florida and Denver, Colorado areas, with the commitment of three and five stores in each market respectively. The first locations are expected to open this year in Westminster, Colorado, and in the Brickell neighborhood of Miami.,

"Last year kicked off our aggressive national franchise expansion plan to open dozens of new Sarpino's USA locations by the end of 2027. We're happy to report that 2022 was a banner year for our brand, laying a solid foundation for the growth we anticipate over the next five years," David Chatkin, president of Sarpino's USA, said in the release. "With proven systems and processes in place, a standout concept, and an unwavering commitment to innovation, we look forward to an even greater 2023."

The brand also expects to open a restaurant in Pompano Beach, Florida, in October, as well as a unit planned for Boca Raton, Florida. Franchising efforts are focused on South Florida, Kansas City, Missouri an other states throughout the Southeast and Midwest.

Former restaurant employees are fueling much of the brand's ongoing success, with Kateryna Tserkovniuk owning the future Pompano Beach and Boca Raton locations and Said Demirovski spearheading the brand's development in Denver. Tserkovniuk got her start with Sarpino's USA as a cashier in the brand's downtown Fort Lauderdale franchise, while Demirovski worked for a local multi-unit Sarpino's USA franchisee in Chicago.

"Sarpino's USA has a history of restaurant employees turning into franchise owners and we couldn't be more pleased to have such confidence in our brand," Chatkin added. "It's franchisees like Kateryna and Said who make Sarpino's USA what it is, and we're thrilled to have their continued investment as well as welcome new franchisees to our growing system."

Sarpino's USA operates nearly 50 locations.
