While many pizzeria operators spent 2007 struggling with softening same-store sales, at least one pizza chain booked a pretty good year.
Pizza Patron markets itself as the “premier Latino pizza brand,” building stores in primarily Spanish-speaking or Latino neighborhoods. The Dallas-based company has recorded five straight quarters of double-digit same-store sales increases.
“The continued sales growth is a sign that we are on the right track,” said Pizza Patron founder Antonio Swad last fall when the Q3 2007 numbers were released. “Our core philosophy of providing excellent food at exceptional values every day has helped us gain valuable market share in the ultra-competitive pizza segment.”
The company currently has 72 locations open in six states and has 21 new stores under construction, with more in the pipeline.
