Marco's Pizza (Marco's Franchising, LLC)

Marco's Pizza is a rapidly expanding pizza brand based in Toledo, Ohio, established in 1978 by Italian-born Pasquale (“Pat”) Giammarco. The company has made a name for itself by offering a high-quality pizza experience, particularly renowned for its freshly-made dough and signature blend of three cheeses. With over 1,200 stores across 34 states, as well as locations in Puerto Rico and the Bahamas, Marco’s Pizza has evolved from a cherished Ohio establishment into a flourishing national franchise. Noteworthy achievements include ranking No. 48 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2024 “Franchise 500” list, and being recognized for exceptional customer service in Newsweek’s 2023 “America’s Best Customer Service” in pizza chains. Additionally, the company has secured a spot on QSR’s Top 50 and has been featured in Nation’s Restaurant News’ prestigious “Top 500” ranking. It is important to consider that financial performance may vary, with around 39% of franchised stores meeting or exceeding the average sales volume in the fiscal year 2022. Investors should refer to the 2023 FDD for comprehensive financial information, emphasizing that there is no guarantee of identical success for any franchisee. With significant growth and recognition within the competitive Food and Beverage industry, Marco's Pizza presents a promising opportunity for potential venture capital investment.
