Marco’s Pizza, Toledo-based robustly growing pizza franchise in the US, has announced its entry into India via franchise route. The pizza chain is looking forward to open 400 stores over next 10 years. “We are thrilled to launch operations in an untapped market such as India with two Marco’s Pizza area representatives native to the area,” says Bryon Stephens, President and COO of Marco’s Pizza. It is spread over 500 locations. The brand has signed more than 15 hundred new franchise deals in 2013. In a span of five to seven years, it is hopeful of quadrupling its store count.

The expansion goals in India will be lead by DJ Patel and Monaliza Patel. They both have a combined experience of over 33 years in pizza and franchise sectors. DJ oversees 40 units of Marco’s Pizza in Georgia, Maryland, DC, Virginia and now even India. Monaliza is an area representative and partners with DJ in co-managing stores in Atlanta and Southern Georgia.

“After conducting a sound market research, the expansion plans in India have been thought about. The first store will be opened before the year end,” adds Stephens. Marco’s Pizza believes in selling “ah!thentic” product and endeavors to build a strong community image. Their product menu includes sandwiches, salads and breads as well.

Marco’s Pizza has its headquarters in Toledo, Ohio. It was founded in 1978 by a native Italian, Pasquale “Pat” Giammarco. He moved to the US at the age of nine. Having grown up working in his family pizzeria, he went on to make pizzas on a larger scale using his special sauce recipe. The business refined further. The company has evolved from its nascent stage as an Ohio brand to being a developed brand operating in more than 500 stores in 35 states and the Bahamas. Based on the number of stores signed into development since 2007, Marco’s Pizza is one of the fastest growing pizza companies in the US. It is a pioneer in making Italian pizzas.
