So, it's been quite some time since my last post. A lot has happened since the Holidays. Where do I start? Well, first, we made a giant leap into the world of franchising! Michael and I had received such an overwhelming response to the concept, that when approached by my best friend to have "a chat" with his soon-to-be father in-law about franchising, we had to hear what he had to say. In short, we could create a company that could create profitablity through franchising while using it as a vehicle to help spread our message of environmental integrity and social responsibility.
Michael and I decided that this "chance" encounter with our now partner, Randy Romano, was no chance and found ourselves the perfect cog to our wheel. We have setup our corporate office in Fort Lauderdale and have started on this amazing journey. We have also made a few key hires when we brought on Eric Haley as our V.P. of Communications, and Katy Livingston as our Creative Director and Brand Manager. Both of them appeared at just the right time and we wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for their talent and dedication to Pizza Fusion becoming a household name.
We made an area development deal with the B&Y Restaurant group for the rights to the Miami-Dade territory. Michael Block and Jeffrey Yagoda have been an incredible asset to the parent company, as well as key operators for our inaugural store in Fort Lauderdale... our 1st Franchise! They are currently seeking prime retail locations for the 2nd of 5 locations they have in the works. It looks like South Beach will be store #3 of Pizza Fusion
On May 1st, we brought seasoned franchise expert, John Driedger, on to the Pizza Fusion Team. He has taken off out of the gates and has been busy interviewing potential new family members for our expansion efforts through franchsing! He's been speaking to people from all over the United States and I should be reporting some great news in the near future... right here, so stay tuned!
Your fearless, blogging, eco-friendly, low-impacting, organic pizza franchising leader!
