Pizza Factory is Named To Franchise Times Top 200+ List

OAKHURST, Calif. – Pizza Factory announced today that it has been named to Franchise Times’ Top 200+ list, which is an exclusive ranking of the 500 largest franchises. Based on the company’s worldwide system sales and number of locations, Pizza Factory has been placed alongside the largest franchises in its industry.

This recognition validates the tremendous growth the company has experienced in the past year. In 2017, the brand generated over $67 million in sales. Pizza Factory now operates 106 locations nationwide.

“We are humbled to achieve this incredible milestone,” said Mary Jane Riva, president and CEO of Pizza Factory. "This ranking is a direct result of our franchisees’ hard work and dedication to succeed. We look forward to continuing this momentum as we grow into new markets and offer continued support to our existing franchisees.”

Using a combination of companies’ voluntary reports and the most recent franchise disclosure documents, the Franchise Times Top 200+ is an annual ranking of the 500 largest franchise systems in the United States by global systemwide sales, based on the previous year's performance. The project is the result of a five-month research and reporting effort each year that results in the most credible and objective franchise ranking available.

To qualify for the ranking, companies must be a legal United States franchise, with its headquarters based in the United States or at least 10 percent of their total units located in the country. Franchisees must also own at least 15 percent of the company’s total units. The 200 franchises with the top global systemwide sales, including total sales for both franchise and company units, receive the highest rankings.

Founded more than 30 years ago, Pizza Factory has become well known for serving fresh, high-quality pizza, sandwiches, salads and more. The brand is also widely recognized for its close community connection, which includes its iconic “No Bully Zone” program and impactful fundraising partnerships.

Entrepreneurially spirited individuals interested in owning a Pizza Factory franchise should have the ability to invest $151,000 - $638,000, which includes working capital and a typical franchise fee of $25,000. Plus, Pizza Factory is a proud partner of the VetFran program. Approved candidates receive 10% off of the total franchise fee. Ideal franchise candidates are enthusiastic about the restaurant industry, have a strong work ethic and are passionate about their communities.
