One of the earliest adopters of the build-your-own pizza concept has notched North Louisiana in its expansion belt.
PizzaRev, the fast-casual pizza banner backed by Buffalo Wild Wings, announced that a franchise agreement has been signed to develop the chain throughout the northern part of Louisiana. Franchisees are restaurateurs Cassidy King and Mark Florsheim.
There are more than 200 PizzaRev locations in various stages of development across the country. The brand currently operates 42 corporate and franchise locations throughout California, Colorado, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Mexico. In 2013, Buffalo Wild Wings announced an equity-investment in PizzaRev and increased its stake in 2014.
