About Toppers Pizza
 
To stand out in a restaurant category where every other business looks and acts the same, Toppers Pizza recently revitalized every point of contact
that consumers have with the brand – infusing a sense of irreverence, fun and play into a category. Toppers initially is the only pizza chain
targeting 18-24 year olds and doing so in an irreverent way that totally separates them in a category that is a sea of sameness.
 
The repositioning included a redesigned logo coupled with a new tagline “Feed the Need”; print advertising featuring daring tongue-in-cheek
headlines and uniforms.  Untucked mechanic shirts, jeans, skullcaps, and baseball hats with the new logo replace the traditional Khaki pants and knit
shirts. The new style makes the uniform fashionable and comfortable.
 
Toppers Pizza is currently seeking qualified individuals for partner relationships as they expand through franchising in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, North Carolina and South Carolina.
