Brixx Wood Fired Pizza plans to open seven locations across the Southeast over the next year.

The growth comes a year after the Charlotte-based company launched a franchise program to expand the chain.

“The concept is 10 years old now,” says Jeff Van Dyke, Brixx managing partner. “We feel like we’ve got things down now and are ready to grow the brand.”

Company-owned locations scheduled to open in the next year are in Asheville, Raleigh, Cary and Nashville, Tenn. A franchisee opened a Columbia, S.C., location about three weeks ago. Other franchise restaurants set to open in the next year are in Wilmington, Winston-Salem and Knoxville, Tenn. The company currently has 11 locations. The first Brixx opened in Dilworth in 1998.

New Pizza Franchise

We’ve discovered a new pizza franchise opportunity from an old name in pizza. For more than four decades, pizza loveers in the Northeast have enjoyed the crisp crust and distinctive taste of pizza from Papa Gino’s. Finally, Papa Gino’s decided to let franchise owners get a piece of their pie… through the Papa Gino’s franchise program.

Papa Gino’s, a venerable New England pizza chain, has signed an agreement with the brand’s first-ever franchisee. “We have been serving New England for over 40 years, but this agreement creates an opportunity for individual investors to become involved with our business model and allows us to grow our brand recognition,” says Anthony Padulo, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development.

Rajender and Sunita Malhotra are the first to partner with Papa Gino’s and have agreed to build three restaurants over the next three years. While the locations have not been finalized, preliminary indications suggest they will be in Beverly, Salem, and Swampscott, Massachusetts. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The Malhotras say they’re excited about becoming the first Papa Gino’s franchisees. “Papa Gino’s has strong brand recognition in Boston and the surrounding suburbs,” Rajender says. “We saw this as a unique opportunity to become involved with an established restaurant franchise with a built-in customer base.

Dedham, Massachusetts-based Papa Gino’s Holding Corporation,the parent company of Papa Gino’s, operates more than 360 company-owned and franchised restaurants and employs more than 5,000 people.
