Why Invest in a Papa Murphy’s Pizza Franchise

Iconic Pizza Franchise is Expanding Nationwide

There’s no better food to share with your loved ones than pizza. On average, Americans eat about 350 slices of pizza each year – so it makes sense to bring everyone together for a scratch-made pizza without the effort, right?

This is where Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake pizza franchise outshines the competition. For decades, our iconic brand has found success by focusing on families just as much as pizza. With our thriving Take ‘N’ 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 enjoying the occasion with the special people in their lives. 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 Shemar Pucel, Sr Director of Development 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.”

The Largest Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza Franchise

Since our humble beginnings of two local Take ‘N’ Bake pizza companies merging, Papa Murphy’s has grown to over a thousand locations in the United States, Canada, and UAE. How did we do it? By delivering high-quality food mixed with excellent customer service and very affordable prices. The ingredients to our business model have proven effective, as our loyal guests constantly rate us No. 1 in consumer surveys.

Although we take pride in selling high-quality food, we know our tasty pizzas are even better when shared with the people you love most. With 84% of adults wishing they could share a meal together more often, Papa Murphy’s offers a quick, yet delicious option to get customers back to the dinner table, without spending hours in the kitchen. This is why Papa Murphy’s owns the Take ‘N’ Bake pizza segment. Our loyal guests know that they come to any of our locations and get a customized meal that’s fast, fresh, affordable, and bake it at home – when they want it.

What’s the best part? Our bake-at-home pizza franchise is positioned for growth in an industry that is worth $41 billion and is poised to continue growing. As we expand our national footprint across the country, we want to share our story with you. Whether you are a first-time entrepreneur, a fanatical fan of our tasty pizza, or a multi-unit operator looking to diversify your business, Papa Murphy’s is a wise investment for you.

“I don’t think anyone has done it quite like we have. You get to go home and bake it in your oven and smell the pizza while it’s baking, and watch the crust rise. You get to experience the whole start-to-finish process.”
