West Coast-based, Pizza Factory is expanding into the Lone Start State by way of its first Texas location in the city of Fate, a news release said.
The store on East Fate Main Place is operated by franchisees Mike and Terri Sanchez, who operate three other brand locations in Nevada. Pizza Factory has always meant a lot to our family. As Mike and I started to look for an opportunity where we could become our own boss, Pizza Factory was an easy choice, Terri Sanchez said in the release. After successfully launching three Nevada-based restaurants and seeing firsthand the special connection we formed with the community, we knew expanding with the brand was in our future. Following our family s move to Texas, Fate was the perfect town for Pizza Factory. We re extremely excited to bring the concept into a new state and introduce its awesome offerings to more neighborhoods.
Pizza Factory, known for its iconic hometown vibe with an innovative approach to operations, is bringing its West Coast legacy to Texas. The brand’s recent development momentum in the southeast has sparked the interest of seasoned restaurant operators to bring the trending pizzeria concept into emerging markets. The milestone signed agreement for Fate, Texas came to fruition thanks to longtime Pizza Factory operators, Mike and Terri Sanchez.
The Sanchezes, a husband-and-wife entrepreneurial team, have been familiar with Pizza Factory since their upbringing in Filmore, Calif. After falling in love with the brand’s community values and seeing the positive impact that Pizza Factory restaurants have, the Sanchezes became owners themselves, opening multiple locations all throughout Nevada. After operating three stores in total, the duo decided it was time for a change as they started to eye areas in Texas to move and transition out of their existing stores and into a promising area
