Systems and Support

...to help you grow quickly.

MARKETING SUPPORT

With over 1,100 stores, Marco’s is at an inflection point. We’re large enough to afford national TV advertising campaigns, but small enough that those joining the brand today still have plenty of available territory in which to grow. Here are some of the key advantages Marco’s franchisees enjoy:

  • National Advertising Fund to drive demand in existing markets as well as expansion markets prior to launch
  • Brand Development Fund which produces professional marketing collateral and support materials to help franchisees drive local marketing efforts
  • Local store marketing systems that enable our franchisees to be community focused and give back to the locals you serve.
  • A high-quality great tasting pizza that stands out from other large delivery pizza franchises and is loved by pizza buyers everywhere.
  • Our focus on quality from the ingredients we choose to making our dough fresh in-store

A $46B Industry

The pizza industry is huge, stable and growing. Americans spend $46 billion a year on pizza, according to CHD Expert. PMQ Pizza Magazine expects that number to hit $50.7 billion by 2023. According to Food Business News, 30% of Americans eat pizza at least once a week. The amazing numbers don’t stop there.

COVID-19

Has not slowed us down

Though our hearts go out to the many businesses who closed or have been hurt by the pandemic, pizza franchises have thrived. Marco’s has worked very closely with franchisees to adapt to changing business conditions. And while many restaurant concepts have struggled, Marco’s Pizza franchisees nationwide have consistently achieved weekly sales records.

Italian Roots

and a focus on Primo

Fed up with the lack of good-quality pizza delivery franchises, Italian-born Marco’s founder Pat Giammarco sought to create an authentic Italian pizza — an artisan pie created with fresh dough and the highest quality ingredients delivered swiftly to your home.
