Fast-growing pizza chain Marco’s Pizza, based in Toledo, Ohio, awarded 86 franchise development deals and opened nearly 80 new stores in 2023. And the chain is not done growing.
The brand has just opened its first franchised location in Anzures, Mexico. This store is part of a 50-unit franchise agreement with Grupo Pizza Amantes SA de CV, which plans to develop locations in Mexico City over the next 10 years.
The new end cap store spans 1,700 square feet and features a unique walk-up window. The store is also leveraging third-party delivery and testing delivery via scooters to maximize efficiency.
"The launch of our first location in Mexico represents a pivotal step in our international growth strategy," says Gerardo Flores, chief development officer for Marco’s Pizza. "This milestone not only demonstrates our commitment to expanding our global footprint but also sets the stage for further international development. We are confident in our ability to replicate this success in new markets around the world, bringing our unique pizza experience to an ever-growing customer base."
