Automated pizzeria company PizzaForno has announced a 40-unit development agreement in Michigan, including the opening of five new locations in Clarkston, Caledonia, Flint and Troy.
On the heels of a remarkable year of growth, PizzaForno says it is strategically positioned to enhance customer accessibility. The newly announced expansion features two automated pizzerias at the Amazon Distribution Center in Grand Rapids, in partnership with sub-licensees DM Vending, along with additional locations at a SUNOCO gas station in Clarkston, Oakland Mall in Troy, and Mott College in Flint.
PizzaForno's ambitious 40-unit development deal with Forno Brothers LLC is set to bring 10 more units in 2025 with the remaining to open by 2026. The venture is driven by the dynamic partnership of couples Jason and Monika Lowder, alongside Dan and Shay Russell.
Jason Lowder, master licensee of Michigan and chief marketing officer of PizzaForno, brings extensive experience as a former VP at Marco's Pizza and a successful multi-unit franchisee.
PizzaForno is poised for rapid growth and plans to have 1,000 operating units by 2027. The brand is focusing on expanding into campuses and other unconventional locations, leveraging its cutting-edge technology to serve diverse markets.
Accessible 24/7 via digital screens, PizzaForno offers a variety of pizzas made with premium ingredients. Through the PizzaForno app, users can easily check inventory, place orders, and reserve pizzas for pick-up, providing a seamless ordering experience globally.
