Papa Murphy’s Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:FRSH) announced today it
signed an expanded store development agreement with J & J Meyer
Inc. to develop an additional 10 new Papa Murphy’s pizza stores in
Topeka, Kansas; Fargo, North Dakota; Duluth and Minneapolis,
Minnesota; and Madison, Wausau and Milwaukee, Wisconsin over the
next five years.
Joel Meyer, J & J Meyer Inc. owner and area
developer, has been a Papa Murphy’s franchise owner since 1999 and
owns and operates 34 stores. Currently there are 246 Papa Murphy’s
stores located in Kansas, North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
This agreement builds on the company’s recently announced expansion
plans into the Hawaiian market with a 15-store development
agreement as well as expanded store development agreements in
Alabama and North Carolina with existing franchisees.
“These new deals demonstrate our commitment to
working with our strong franchise partners and the confidence they
have in the Papa Murphy’s brand,” said Jayson Tipp, chief
development officer and senior vice president of technology, of
Papa Murphy's Holdings, Inc. “In addition to attracting
growth-minded, experienced multi-unit franchisees, we are also
looking for single-unit operators that are seeking out a profitable
investment and efficient, proven franchise operating model. We look
forward to continuing our expansion with strategic development
agreements like this and building on the strong relationships we
have with dedicated franchise owners like Joel Meyer well into the
future.”
“I have found continued success with Papa
Murphy’s over the last 17 years and I’m excited to grow the brand’s
presence in these four states,” said Joel Meyer, J & J Meyer
Inc. owner and area developer. “I’m confident Papa Murphy’s will
continue to do incredibly well in these markets and I look forward
to providing this award-winning fresh, high quality pizza and
continuing the strong relationship with Papa Murphy’s.”
