Papa Murphy’s Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:FRSH) today announced plans to
strengthen and grow its presence in Missouri and Arkansas. The
company, which currently has over 1,500 locations in 38 states,
recently completed acquisitions of nine existing Papa Murphy’s
franchise stores in the Joplin, Missouri and Ft. Smith, Arkansas
areas. Papa Murphy’s intends to leverage the deal as a springboard
for further expansion throughout the Midwest and Southeast.
“Since opening our first stores in Missouri and Arkansas 16
years ago, our concept and convenient solution to the dinnertime
dilemma has resonated well with families who want a wholesome and
delicious meal,” said Jayson Tipp, chief development officer and
senior vice president of technology, of Papa Murphy's. “This
acquisition will support our existing store base as we continue to
expand our presence in this area of the country. We look forward to
opening more stores in these states to offer additional locations
for customers to create their own fresh, customized pizza they can
feel good about serving their families.”
This announcement marks yet another growth milestone for Papa
Murphy’s who recently announced expanded store development
agreements in Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Dakota,
Alabama and North Carolina. Papa Murphy’s has benefited from recent
strong new store growth in Arkansas and Tennessee and anticipates
continued strong growth in conjunction with this acquisition. In
addition to entering this market, Papa Murphy’s expects to add
between 115 and 120 new domestic locations in 2016.
The company makes fresh dough in-store daily and tops its pizzas
with fresh vegetables chopped daily, 100 percent whole-milk
mozzarella - grated in-store each day - high quality meat with no
