Marco’s Pizza still growing during pandemic

We opened 36 new restaurants in the first 8 months of this year, most of them since mid-March despite pandemic

A line of people with surgical masks around some of their necks smile and cut a ribbon with an oversized pair of scissors in front of a new Marco’s pizza business.

A Marco’s Pizza opened in Gallatin, TN, on June 27, one of 36 new locations this year.

Not every business has suffered since the pandemic, and Marco’s is especially grateful that the pizza business continues to boom. We’ve seen increased customer demand, record-level sales and even ongoing franchise growth.

We’re celebrating the fact that we’ve opened 36 new Marco’s Pizza locations and re-opened 4 units since the first of the year — between Jan. 2 and Aug. 11, to be precise.
