Donatos Pizza is excited to announce a new franchise partner in Panama City, Florida. In addition, the family-owned franchise has identified new locations within the strategic growth of northern and central Florida including Pensacola, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Lake City, and Destin-Ft. Walton Beach. The premium pizza franchise will begin in key markets in the panhandle and look to open over 10 locations in the region, creating an estimated 300+ jobs for local Floridians. 

The brand has already introduced its presence in Florida with opened franchised locations in Jacksonville, Orlando, Sarasota, and Naples. The recent Florida development and announcement of future franchising plans showcase the strength of the Donatos Pizza franchise model and their ability to allow new communities to taste the difference of their Edge to Edge® pizzas. 

Founded in 1963 in Columbus, Ohio, by Jim Grote, Donatos Pizza is a family-owned business known for its famous thin crust pizzas that don’t skimp on their premium, Edge to Edge® toppings. Along with pizza, Donatos serves fresh salads made daily, oven-baked subs and wings, and desserts.

Donatos is an opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to join a brand with a strong legacy and a cutting-edge approach to the pizza industry. The brand’s franchise partners benefit from a dedicated team that helps with everything; each step of the business model has been vetted, measured, and proven.
