Toppers Pizza marched into Concord, North Carolina, this week with the opening of its newest location at 1225 Concord Parkway North on December 12.
The opening marked Toppers’ fifth location in the greater Charlotte Metro area and its 71st nationally. The location is part of a nine-store expansion in the state, with three new franchisees to open new locations in Charlotte, Raleigh, Greenville and Durham.
The franchisee for the latest location is Ruzlan Quevedo Gonzalez of Pizza QSA LLC. Born in Cuba and later becoming an American citizen, Ruzlan is Toppers’ first Latino franchisee.
To celebrate joining the Concord community, Toppers will offer several pre- and post-opening rewards and exclusive deals. In addition to paying just $7.99 for a large one-topping pizza or triple Topperstix, customers enjoyed additional perks:
Free Scratch-Off Ticket: The first 500 carryout or pickup customers on December 12 received a scratch-off ticket for a chance to win free food for a year. Fifty lucky winners took home the prize, but everyone won something.
12 Days of Toppers: From December 12 through 23, pizza lovers can take home a $5.99 large House Pizza with the purchase of any Triple Stix at the regular price.
Free Large Pizza Reward: In a special running from December 26 through January 2, those who spend $20 in the Toppers Pizza app will receive a free large pizza added to their account on January 3.
Free Triple Topperstix Reward: For a January 6-12 promotion, spending $15 in the app will earn customers a free Triple Original Topperstix, which will be added to their loyalty account on Jan. 13.
“Opening our fifth location in Charlotte is a significant milestone,” said Mac Malchow, Toppers’ vice president of development. “We’re eager to serve the people of Concord and provide a space where friends and families can enjoy vivid flavors and great food. It’s a privilege to bring Toppers to this community and be part of its growth and energy.”
Headquartered in Whitewater, Wisconsin, Toppers Pizza was founded in 1991 and has grown to 70 locations.
According to the company, Toppers’ franchisees achieve a $1,100,000-plus average unit volume across the entire system. For more franchising information, visit Toppers.com/Franchise.
