Stoner's Pizza Joint continued its national expansion with two restaurant openings this week, including its first location in Kansas and its fifth in the Denver metropolitan area, according to a press release.

The downtown Wichita, Kansas, restaurant, located at 645 E. Douglas Ave., establishes the brand in the Midwest market and is operated by a new franchise partner.

The company also opened a Denver location near the University of Denver at 1505 E. Evans Ave. Owned by an existing franchisee, the addition brings Stoner's presence in the Denver market to five restaurants.

"This is an exciting week for Stoner's and a great reflection of the momentum we're seeing across the brand," John Stetson, CEO of Stoner's Pizza Joint, said in the release. "Growing to five locations in Denver with an existing partner, while also entering Kansas with a new franchisee, demonstrates the strength of our franchise system and the growth opportunities we see ahead."

Founded in 2013, Stoner's Pizza Joint operates more than 55 locations across the Southeast, Texas, the Midwest and Colorado.
