This two-day event is more than a conference—it’s a celebration of our franchise family gathering together to share victories and insights. Let’s recap this year’s Owners Summit, explore its transformative impact on our franchise owners, and shed light on how it underscores Papa Murphy’s position as a remarkable franchise choice.

What were the main goals of the Owners Summit?

Our main goal was to provide resources, interactive workshops, networking opportunities, and fun for Franchise Owners along with their invited guests.

What does the Owners Summit consist of?

The Owners Summit featured a range of engaging workshops tailored to enhance various aspects of our franchise operations. These workshops encompassed strategies such as maximizing online transactions to boost margin and profit, effectively managing food and labor costs, cultivating a dream team through recruitment and retention best practices, elevating the guest experience by understanding their voice, unlocking the potential of local store marketing, and unraveling the secrets of leveraging digital marketing at a local level. Each workshop provided actionable insights designed to empower franchise owners and further elevate the Papa Murphy’s experience.

How does the Owners Summit benefit Papa Murphy’s franchise owners?

The Owners Summit provides an in-person experience that allows collaboration on so many levels. We discussed building their business, shared best practices, made personal connections and celebrated our legacy brand.

Franchise owners Phillip and Francine Kloppenburg from Roswell, NM attended for their first time, and had this to say about their experience at the Owners Summit: “We thought it was very informative. Good breakout sessions, and really enjoyed the keynote speaker. The entire event was well organized.”

How was the Fresh Opportunities Foundation expanded?

Papa Murphy’s displayed our commitment to education and community by expanding the Fresh Opportunities Foundation, an annual scholarship program benefiting Store Crew Members. The event attendees displayed their incredible support by surpassing the $10,000 goal, raising over $12,000 for the Foundation during the Summit. This achievement was made possible through the enthusiastic participation of Franchise Owners, who engaged in activities like purchasing special t-shirts, contributing to raffle prizes, and making generous donations. This collaborative effort not only underscores our franchise community’s dedication to creating opportunities, but also serves as a testament to the spirit of giving that defines Papa Murphy’s.

What was the key takeaway from the Owners Summit?

“The future, like our dough, is rising, and we are all excited to see our brand and footprint grow,” said Shemar Pucel, Senior Director of Development. “There are so many great things brewing behind the scenes, and our Franchise Owners, as well as our support members, left the summit excited, invigorated and ready to dive in with so many new programs, products and specials. There is something about coming together that really ignites the passion for the brand, and it’s something we have needed since coming through the pandemic. I can’t wait to see how the Franchise Owners implement new things in their stores. We are already working behind the scenes to help them grow their portfolios in markets from coast to coast.”
