Squisito going back to its roots

January 24, 2018

Martin Hernandez, franchisee with Squisito Franchise Enterprises, is opening his first Squisito Pizza & Pasta this year in Queenstown, Maryland.

"It is with great pride that after working with the Monte Restaurant Group for 14 years that I have the opportunity to open a Squisito Pizza and Pasta restaurant this summer at the Queenstown Outlet Shopping Center," he said in a company press release. "I am looking forward to serving the customers of the area delicious food and supporting the community."

The months prior to opening will be busy for Squisito Queenstown as it's hosting hiring open houses and contests to drive social media chatter.

"Gennaro (DiMeo) and I are excited to bring Squisito back to the Eastern Shore where our roots started," said Michele DiMeo, president of Squisito Franchise Enterprises Inc. "What better way of doing so than with one of our original managers 20 years later. We look forward to working with Martin to make Squisito Queenstown a huge success.”

The company aim is to open 100 Squisito Pizza & Pasta locations by 2022. Squisito Franchise Enterprise Inc. is also the principle franchisor of sister concept Meatballs, Etc., a fast casual build-your-own, fresh, Italian kitchen built around the famous Italian meatball.
