Pizza Factory expands into Georgia

Pizza Factory has opened its first location in Georgia in the Athens community. The restaurant is located with the Beechwood Shopping Center, according to a press release.

"After previously being stationed in Georgia while in the military, I quickly fell in love with the state and knew that I had to bring my favorite pizzeria to the East Coast. The community values and diverse menu options that Pizza Factory offers will be the perfect fit for Athens," Brandon Broadwell, local franchisee, said in the press release. "After owning my own business for 10 years, I was ready for a career change and immediately thought of Pizza Factory. I've always been impressed with Pizza Factory's dedication to seamless operations and the close-knit culture, and I am excited to be the catalyst for the brand's growth in Georgia. I am confident Pizza Factory will be a welcomed addition to Athens and I'm honored to be the one introducing this beloved concept to the community."

"After the impressive momentum we've seen thus far in 2022, we are ready to continue to capitalize on our growth as we move into Georgia," Mary Jane Riva, Pizza Factory CEO, said in the release. "Our concept is an awesome addition to any new market, and I can say with certainty that Brandon is the right person to lead our expansion in the Southeast. His determination and seasoned experience with business ownership will help us expand into other key growth markets. Athens is the perfect community for us to debut our concept in Georgia. Located within a happening strip mall and less than 10 minutes away from the University of Georgia, I'm confident Brandon will have the utmost success once open."

Pizza Factory operates more than 100 restaurants.
