Mountain Mike’s Pizza, headquartered in Newport Beach, California, said it’s significantly broadening its national footprint with multi-unit development deals in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Oregon.
The new partnerships follow the brand’s recent 10-unit agreement in Florida and reinforce Mountain Mike’s rapidly growing position as what it calls “a coast-to-coast pizza powerhouse.” Mountain Mike’s has nearly 150 restaurants planned in more than a dozen states, according to a press release. The development activities complement nearly 300 Mountain Mike’s Pizza restaurants in operation.
“Our multi-unit deals in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Oregon, plus a recent agreement to enter Florida, have added nearly 20 locations to our robust development pipeline,” Jim Metevier, the brand’s CEO, said.
The new multi-unit franchise deals will introduce the fast-growing pizza chain to three new markets that include Northwest Arkansas, Greater Oklahoma City and Salem, Oregon.
According to the press release, Mountain Mike’s Pizza “continues to experience record sales and significant franchise momentum.”
“Our current and future success is being driven by an unwavering commitment to nearly 50 years of Mountain Mike’s history as a favorite dining destination and to delivering an unmatched restaurant experience for everyone who enjoys fantastic pizza,” said Chris Britt and Ed St. Geme, principal owners and co-chairmen of Mountain Mike’s Pizza. “As we expand in more new territories and reinforce our standing as a national pizza brand, we are more determined than ever to provide comprehensive support for franchise partners in every market across the country to ensure they have the tools to thrive in our system and uphold our brand promise.”
