Franchise Interviews Meets with Marco's Pizza
We have a great show today.
It was almost a decade ago we interviewed Marco's Pizza. We invited John Ramsay, the Vice President of
Franchise Development Services to come back and give us an update. Since 2008, Marco's Pizza has
continued to open an average 2-3 new locations every week, exploding from 200 to over 800 locations in just six years.
At Marco's, they pride themselves on ah-uthentic Italian artisan pizza, made with fresh, real ingredients and dough
made in the store daily. At a time when 91% of Americans eat pizza at least once a month, more people are choosing the quality
pizza we've built our brand on.

Pat Giammarco moved to the States from Italy with his Parents when
he was 9 years old. Few years later, he worked at his Family Pizzeria with his father. From there, the path was
paved, he embarked on a mission to make the best pizza in the market place… of course with a little help from his Father’s
recipe.
From there, the first Marco's Pizza store opened in Toledo, Ohio in 1978.
Marco’s Pizza® stores offer pizza, hot sub sandwiches, salads, and cheezybread for carryout and delivery. Click here to listen to the
