MARCO’S PIZZA ANNOUNCES NINTH QUARTER OF SAME-STORE SALES GROWTH

Authentic Italian Pizza Chain Reports Strong Sales through Q3 2008

 

 

TOLEDO, OHIO – Dec. 8, 2008 – Marco’s Pizza (Marco’s Franchising, LLC) has reported its ninth consecutive quarter of same-store sales increases. Marco’s same-store sales were up by more than 4 percent system-wide through the third quarter and by more than 6 percent among company-managed stores.

 

“Marco’s Pizza is an anomaly in the industry, where many of the sales numbers we’re seeing are down or flat,” said CEO Jack Butorac. “We attribute the strength of Marco’s same-store sales to high product quality and smart franchise growth. Marco’s Pizza is committed to using fresh ingredients (never frozen) and managing expansion so new stores are adequately supported.”

 

Continued national expansion has also helped bolster Marco’s profitability. The company was traditionally an Ohio- and Midwest-focused chain until Butorac purchased the franchise rights in 2004. Since then, Marco’s has expanded into 14 states and expects to more than triple its current store count in two years.
