U.S. Pizza, the 46-year-old local chain based in Little Rock, expects to open its first out-of-state location, at 4206 Gibson Lane in Texarkana, Texas, in late February or early March.
Sam Dickens is the franchise owner, says Drew Weber, chief operating officer of U.S. Pizza.
The 4,497-SF restaurant will employ 50-55 workers.
U.S. Pizza opened its first franchise last summer in Jonesboro, and the Texas shop will bring U.S. Pizza’s locations — either franchisees or licensees — to 16.
Business continues to thrive, says Weber, with sales hitting $18 million last year.
Stay tuned for more news, he says.
