Ohio’s renowned Donatos Pizza is set to make a significant mark in Texas, as it announces its ambitious entry into the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area in 2024. This strategic move introduces the premium pizza brand, celebrated for its Edge to Edge® generously topped pizzas, into a bustling new market, marking a significant chapter in the company’s expansion narrative.
With the ink drying on deals with four franchise groups, Donatos Pizza is poised to open up to 20 new locations throughout the DFW region, heralding the brand’s commitment to embedding itself within the Texan community. This expansion not only presents an opportunity for pizza aficionados in Texas to experience Donatos’ premium offerings, including pizzas, subs, salads, and wings, but also signals a broader ambition for growth within the state, with over 50 potential locations in the DFW area alone.
Jeff Baldwin, Vice President of Franchise Development at Donatos Pizza, expressed enthusiasm about the move, stating, “We are excited to bring Donatos to the vibrant state of Texas, beginning with the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Our expansion is not just about introducing a new premium pizza; it is about creating a lasting connection with the community and giving back.”
Kevin King, President of Donatos Pizza, mirrored this sentiment, highlighting the significance of the Texas expansion. “Bringing Donatos to Dallas-Fort Worth is a historic milestone for us as we begin this exciting journey to expand the brand into Texas,” King said. “We are looking to have yet another successful year in 2024, and this growth into Texas is just the beginning. We look forward to becoming an integral part of the DFW community.”
As Donatos Pizza continues to broaden its national reach, now serving in over 460 locations across 29 states, including 179 traditional Donatos restaurants, the brand’s unique franchise model demonstrates its strength and appeal. This Texas venture not only marks a pivotal step in Donatos Pizza’s growth strategy but also invites potential franchise partners to explore opportunities within a state renowned for its dynamic markets and growing population.
