Toledo, Ohio-based Marco’s Pizza franchise anticipates closing out the year with more growth after four consecutive quarters of record store openings.
After adding 61 stores in 2011 and 62 stores in 2012, Marco’s expects to surpass its goal of adding 104 stores in 2013 and will likely close out the year with 110 new franchises. The growth trend will pick up more speed in 2014 as the brand sets its sights on becoming a category leader.
“Think of Five Guys Burgers and Fries where they created the better burger category. We are now clearly defining the ‘better pizza category,’ or as we call it, the ‘Perfect Pie category.’ With all this momentum, we have hit the tipping point,” said Cameron Cummins, Vice President of Franchise Marketing and Recruiting.
