Marco’s Pizza is expanding its presence in the northwest by opening four new locations in Boise, Idaho. The expansion includes plans for new stores in Caldwell and Kuna, set to open in June, followed by a third location in Meridian by the end of summer. The company is in the process of selecting a site for the fourth location.
These new openings will increase Marco’s Pizza’s presence in Idaho, adding to an existing location on the state’s western side. The company has identified Boise as a key market for growth, with a goal of establishing up to 12 locations in the area.
“Our development decisions are based on careful market analysis,” said Gerardo Flores, chief development officer of Marco’s Franchising, LLC. “Boise’s growing population, favorable demographics, and robust labor market make it an attractive location for expansion. We are committed to delivering high-quality products and innovative services as we grow in this market.”
