One of the fastest-growing pizza franchise chains in America looks to partner with entrepreneurs in Greater Cincinnati, northern Kentucky and southeast Indiana
Marco’s Pizza® franchise is looking for Greater Cincinnati area entrepreneurs to open restaurants like this one.
When you hear, “Cincinnati,” you may think of baseball, chili and the late ’70s sitcom “WKRP in Cincinnati.” But there’s much more to this growing and diverse city. Tourists, sports fans and career professionals make up almost 277,000 people who feast on pizza daily. Marco’s Pizza franchise wants to partner with entrepreneurs in the area who want a piece of the Cincinnati pie.
According to Cincinnati.com, this city is the 20th-fastest-growing region among the United States’ largest metro economies. Its growth comes from a wide range of industries — legal, accounting, architectural, engineering, advertising and other services — and the city has plenty of tourists coming to visit attractions like the zoo and museums or to enjoy a Reds or Bengals game, a minor league hockey game, or a NASCAR race. All of these people need food, and the American go-to staple is pizza. Marco’s Pizza is ready to meet the need.
Marco’s Pizza currently has 24 locations in Cincinnati with 12 more locations available. New business owners will benefit from Marco’s Pizza franchise’s established brand and regional marketing but still have an opportunity to get in early. Unlike other large pizza chains that have oversaturated markets, Marco’s Pizza has plenty of locations that franchisees have yet to tap into.
Marco’s Pizza is growing faster than the overall industry
Marco’s Pizza has the fastest unit growth among large pizza franchises, according to Nation’s Restaurant News. The publication named the pizza franchise to its Second 100 List, which analyzes businesses that are smaller but are focusing on growing around the nation.
The publication states that while the pizza industry is mature and growth is limited, Marco’s is the exception. Marco’s Pizza is growing faster than other pizza franchises and on pace to open its 1,000th location by the end of 2017. Its sales growth also is higher than any other pizza franchise.
