How Papa Murphy’s Stays Ahead Of Pizza Franchising Trends
A Pioneer in Pizza Franchising
You likely see plenty of pizza shops on every corner, but very few have the kind of staying power we’ve built at Papa Murphy’s. We earned our spot as a leader in pizza franchising by taking the unique Take ‘N’ Bake model and making it a household name across the country. Instead of trying to keep up with the delivery race, we focused on helping families get a fresh, high-quality meal they can bake whenever they’re ready. Guests know our name across the country because we offer something they can’t get at a standard carry-out joint, and we’ve been the go-to choice for this style of dinner for years.
When you decide to open a location with us, you’re gaining a partner that’s already done the heavy lifting. We’ve spent a long time figuring out exactly what works, and we share all that knowledge with our franchisees. You’ll have a full support team behind you to help with everything from finding the right location for your franchise to attracting local guests. We also make sure you have the training and the tools to run your business with confidence from day one. When you join Papa Murphy’s, you’re taking part in a brand that people already love, while having the backing you need to make your shop a local favorite.
The Power of Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake Model
We’ve been perfecting the art of the fresh, ready-to-bake pizza since 1995, and our growth has been driven by a very simple idea. We make our dough fresh in every store and craft a delicious array of pizzas that guests take and bake at home. This approach appeals to everyone from busy families and hungry kids to solo diners and seniors who want a hot, fresh meal on their own schedule. By letting the guest handle the oven, we ensure they get a premium product exactly when they want it. It transforms a standard meal into an experience that fits perfectly into any lifestyle.
The operational side of this model is where we really stand out in the world of pizza franchising. Because we don’t bake the pizzas on-site, our locations don’t require expensive ovens, delivery staff, or dine-in areas to clean. This makes your daily operations much simpler and keeps your staffing needs leaner than a traditional pizza restaurant. It’s a major advantage for our franchisees, as it allows them to focus on quality and customer service without the overhead of a full-service kitchen. You’re able to run a high-volume business with a streamlined footprint that’s truly built for efficiency.
Driving Demand Through Quality and Custom Menu Options
Our menu is built to satisfy the specific cravings of every guest who walks through the door, which is a massive win for our franchisees. We offer a level of variety that most shops simply can’t match, ranging from our indulgent stuffed crust pizzas to lighter, health-conscious selections. By providing options like gluten-free crusts, dairy-free cheese, and even keto-friendly crustless pizzas, we ensure that nobody is left out of pizza night. This commitment to inclusion and quality means our guests don’t have to compromise on their dietary needs, and that keeps them coming back to their local Papa Murphy’s week after week.
This focus on the individual guest has fueled our growth into a powerhouse brand with over 1,000 locations nationwide. When you join a franchise network with that kind of reach, you’re benefiting from immense brand power and a menu that’s already been tested and loved in hundreds of communities. We’ve proven that the pizza franchising market has a huge appetite for customization and fresh ingredients prepared daily in-store. As a franchisee, you get to tap into this established demand, using a diverse menu to build a loyal customer base that values the quality and choice only we provide.
