Pizza Franchise To Deliver Via Hybrids, Serve Organic Beer

Diego Business Journal:

Park City, Utah, native Mike Walker wanted to start a business that fit his personality and his love for the environment.

After 8 years of service in the Marine Corps, Walker used the International Franchise Association’s VetFran program to purchase Pizza Fusion.

Walker says he and his wife, Nicole, are set to open their first San Diego location this May in Hillcrest.

‘The biggest turn-on to us was Pizza Fusion’s dedication to social responsibility and environmentally-friendly business. The franchise application was very strict, asking everything down to whether or not I was a smoker,’ Walker said.

Michael Gordon and Vaughan Lazar founded Florida-based Pizza Fusion in 2006.

The chain’s owners say they are committed to opening only Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED-certified, locations, including the Hillcrest location, which is currently registered for certification by the U.S. Green Building Council’s San Diego chapter. More.
