Here are three reasons why you should invest in a Papa Murphy’s franchise in 2020:

1. You will be supported from day one and every day after

From the moment you sign your franchise agreement, Papa Murphy’s is committed to providing you with all resources, training, and ongoing coaching you’ll need to grow your business over the long term. We pride ourselves on helping our franchise owners throughout the entire process starting with our 3-phase New Owner Training Program. This comprehensive program starts with three days of in-store training followed by four to five weeks of operations training, and finally, one week of foundation class training at our state-of-the-art Support Center in Vancouver, Washington. Here you’ll master everything about our business model, from how to prepare our foods to managing inventory to using our POS system and more. From there, we’ll also help with site selection, buildout, grand opening and more.

2. The demand for take and bake continues to grow

As the largest take and bake pizza franchise in America, not only does Papa Murphy’s still have plenty of room to grow, but also the demand for pizza — especially take and bake pizza — continues to grow. According to PMQ Pizza Magazine, the U.S. pizza market has grown into a $46 billion industry and is estimated to grow 10% in the next five years. Moreover, Americans love pizza so much they spend $33 billion in QSR pizza restaurants annually – and takeout has the largest share of spending at $15 billion each year, per Statista. At Papa Murphy’s, we have a tried-and-true product that our customers love as well as the loyal following to match – all we’re missing is you.

3. Being associated with MTY Food Group is a huge benefit to franchise owners

Not only is Papa Murphy’s food exceptional, with a focus on freshness and taste, but we are also fully supported by one of the largest franchisors in the world, MTY Food Group. Having the support of a franchise giant with multiple brands and thousands of locations throughout the country is a tremendous asset for a franchise owner, as everything from marketing support, managing food costs, R&D and more is made easier with a team designed to help you thrive.
