Franchise Today · Building a Pizza Brand with Focus on Community · 7 Sep 2016 podcast

That is

Yeah, we actually our s our the footprint of our stores are even set up to where our kitchens are open.

so that everybody can see us making the pizzas, they can see the the tossing going on.

We want the community to see what we're doing.

And and you know, we do tours and the kids come back there and they love to get little pizzas and toss 'em.

I feel that the structure

You don't have that high density of stores where you can uh do co op marketing as well.

So we wanna do some of that but we still wanna start moving out further, start moving our way to the east and um
