Papa Murphy’s is ready to change the way people pizza in South Carolina. As the pioneers of take-n-bake pizza, Papa Murphy’s has won over millions of fans and has grown to over 1,200 locations open in the United States, Canada and UAE. In fact, Papa Murphy’s is the 5th largest pizza franchise in the nation.

“We’re so excited to bring our iconic brand to South Carolina,” says Shemar Pucel, Senior Director of Franchise Development at Papa Murphy’s. “While South Carolina has a lot of pizza concepts – and what great city doesn’t? – it doesn’t have anything close to the product that Papa Murphy’s offers. We’re actively seeking entrepreneurs who are ready to bring a proven brand with an incredible bake-at-home product, simple operations, unlimited growth potential and world-class support to a brand new market. We can’t wait to help entrepreneurs realize their own dreams of owning a pizza franchise that their communities will absolutely fall in love with.”

Why South Carolina? Why Now?

With a population of over five million people, South Carolina is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country – and one thing is for sure, the wide majority of the people living there LOVE pizza.

According to the USDA, 13% of Americans eat pizza everyday. That means, over 650,000 people in South Carolina are eating pizza today! That’s a lot of people enjoying a slice of pizza in one geographical location.

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 that they spend $33 billion in QSR pizza restaurants annually – and takeout has the largest share of spending at $15 billion each year, per data collection company Statista.

As big as the demand for pizza continues to be, there’s nothing at all like Papa Murphy’s in the South Carolina metropolitan area. This gives savvy entrepreneurs who are looking to stand out in a competitive segment get a tremendous advantage over the competition.

Papa Murphy’s is different on purpose

When it comes to take-and-bake pizza, there is no name that rings louder than Papa Murphy’s. As the largest take-and-bake pizza chain in America, we have plenty of room for growth as the demand for pizza, especially take-and-bake pizza, continues to skyrocket.

For over 40 years, our iconic brand has found success by focusing on the at-home meal experience for our guests just as much as pizza. See, with our thriving take-and-bake pizza franchise, we’re all about capturing the moments. At Papa Murphy’s, we understand the only thing that’s better than our guests eating one of our made-to-order, fresh pizzas is eating them with their family and friends in the comfort of their home. As a result, we give our guests an experience that truly tastes better together.

“There are many things that make Papa Murphy’s unique, however, our No. 1 differentiator is that we are different on purpose,” says Kim McBee, Senior Vice President of Customer Experience and Brand Marketing at Papa Murphy’s. “It is truly a benefit to take our pizza home and bake it. We make our dough from scratch, chop high-quality vegetables, butcher quality meat, and shred fresh mozzarella cheese daily. The best part is creating the perfect pizza for our guests who then take it home to bake at their convenience for their loved ones. There’s nothing better than spending quality time with your loved ones over a slice of America’s favorite comfort food: pizza.”
