Marco’s Pizza, one of the nation’s fastest-growing pizza brands, closes out 2023 amid an impressive development year awarding 86 franchises and opening nearly 80 new stores. These achievements have set the stage for considerable expansion in 2024 with company leadership identifying more than 4,000 potential U.S. locations in addition to vast international opportunity that is catching the attention of operators and the investment sector looking to grow and diversify their portfolios.
Notable 2023 achievements include:
- Prioritization on product quality, innovation, and variety – including the launch of now permanent menu items Sausage Magnifico and Ultimate Magnifico, the addition of boneless wings, limited-time-offer Hot Honey Magnifico Pizza in collaboration with Mike’s Hot Honey®, and the launch of the Pizzoli™– a fully loaded handheld that is proving to be the strongest selling new item in recent brand history.
- Rollout of Marco’s Order Management System (MOMS), a proprietary 100% cloud-based technology platform customized, owned, and operated by an affiliate of Marco’s, which provides flexibility to franchisees.
- Growing leadership, with many with decades of experience in the restaurant, food, and QSR space, including the newest addition of Denise Lauer as Chief Marketing Officer.
“Marco’s continues to prove itself as one of the fastest growing and most innovative pizza brands in the country with no intention of slowing down,” said Co-CEO & President, Tony Libardi.
Marco’s 2024 development strategy will center around multi-unit growth as leadership prioritizes franchisee relations and operational support with nearly half of its current franchise network comprised of multi-unit operators.
