According to a press release, Cannoli Pizza Kitchen has signed eight franchise development agreements, including locations across Florida, as well as in Alabama, Michigan and Georgia.
“Cannoli Kitchen Pizza has been serving families in Florida for 28 years, and we are excited to bring this concept to other states across the U.S. as we are confident that our new customers will become a family tradition visiting our restaurants every week,” Austin Titus, president of Cannoli Kitchen Pizza, said in a press release. “As we expand our brand, we will remain committed to sourcing the freshest ingredients and providing an engaging, efficient dining experience. It's rare to grow a restaurant brand with a consistent, family-owned feel across multiple locations, but that's exactly what we're doing with this pizza franchise.”
The brand already operates four stores in South Florida – in Boca Raton, Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Deerfield Beach – and plans to sign 30 more franchise agreements and open five new stores by the end of 2024.
“We are executing on our growth strategy to expand our brand and invite anyone interested in running a pizza franchise to set up a discovery day with our team to learn about the benefits of running a franchise,” Titus added. “We want to help aspiring entrepreneurs realize their restaurant-running dreams with a brand that people can be proud to be part of – a brand that has a family feel and is backed by a strong support team with years of experience.”
Cannoli Kitchen Pizza is part of the United Franchise Group. The brand began in Boca Raton in 1996 and has six locations.
