Quick-service pizza franchise Stoner’s Pizza Joint has signed agreements with four franchisees for the opening of nine new locations in the US.
The new franchisees are set to open in locations across Texas and Florida, beginning in August 2024.
The Texas franchisees have plans to launch outlets in Killeen, San Marco and San Antonio.
The Florida franchisees are preparing to open their doors in Bradenton, Fleming Island, Orange Park and Jacksonville Beach.
Stoner’s offers in-house daily preparation of food with minimal production time and exclusive recipes for its pizza dough, sauce and cheese blend.
Its menu offers speciality pizzas, calzones, strombolis, hickory-smoked chicken wings, freshly prepared salads and desserts baked fresh daily.
Stoner’s Pizza Joint CEO and owner John Stetson said: “We are thrilled to add four new franchisees to the Stoner’s family in our growing Texas and Florida markets.
“We are getting interest from all over the country and look forward to adding new states and partners this year!”
Founded in 2013, Stoner’s Pizza Joint now has 40 locations across six US states.
It has 15 locations in the near-term development stage and expects to achieve 100 locations up to the end of 2025.
Stoner’s Pizza Joint is actively seeking qualified franchisees, particularly in college town markets within the southeast region of the country.
Each franchisee candidate is required to be a multi-unit operator in the restaurant industry with a minimum net worth of $250,000.
The financial commitment for interested franchisees includes an estimated initial investment range of $90,000 to $206,000 for the initial location. This investment includes a $25,000 franchise fee.
In March 2024, Stoner’s Pizza Joint announced plans to open two new corporate-owned stores in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and Travelers Rest, South Carolina.
