Organic, eco-friendly pizza franchise sells more than 20 franchises within first six months of taking green business concept national.
Pizzafusion the leader in the organic restaurant sector and sustainable business practices, has reported highly successful growth since launching their franchise program in January of this year with 20 franchises going up in 4 states, including Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Colorado. Pizza Fusion anticipates finishing 2007 with more than 40 stores and exceeding 150 locations by 2010.
“The interest we’ve received in our green business model is a sign of the times,” Randy Romano, vice president of business development with Pizza Fusion, explains. “Investors are taking notice at companies’ impact on the environment and seeking out more eco-friendly operations. Many find sustainable business to be rewarding on a number of levels.”
Beyond serving a more than a 98% organic menu, Pizza Fusion’s environmental initiatives include using only eco-friendly cleaners to sanitize their stores, providing eco-apparel, such as organic cotton uniforms, to their employees, using starch based plateware and utensils that decomposes in 50 days, constructing their stores with renewable, recycled and reused products, recycling their wastes and giving their customers discounts for bringing back their pizza boxes to recycle them. Additionally, Pizza Fusion purchases renewable wind energy certificates to offset 100% of their power consumption at all their stores and corporate office. Even their website is hosted by a ‘green web hosting’ service provider that’s powered by renewable energy.

20 franchises sold in 6 months!!! That’s HUGE! Hopefully, they will stay on top of providing great support to their new franchisees. Growing is good. But growing in spite of the franchisee’s need of support is dangerous.
