Northern Kentucky-based 42-year-old Snappy Tomato Pizza Incorporated said it is renouncing all initial franchisee fees for all new franchisees through the end of this July, equaling approximately $15,000 per unit. The 47-store Midwest chain is hoping to double its store count over an unspecified period, according to a news release, and will allot $2 million to cover franchise fees for every new single and multi-location franchisee between now and July 31, a news release said.
"We are excited to offer an incentive of this magnitude for our new franchisees. In waiving the $15,000 expense of the one-time franchise fee, we are looking to launch new owners to success in a "snap," stated Jeremy Deters, president of Snappy Tomato Pizza.
Snappy Tomato Pizza's franchise options include a full-service buffet model with carryout, or a QSR delivery/carryout store. Potential franchisees will still be required to meet Snappy Tomato Pizza's standard franchise qualifications.
The brand is targeting the following 10 states where it said its name recognition is strongest, including:
