Whether it's the warmth of the dining experience, the commitment to quality ingredients or their deep dedication to local causes, the brand's core values are built on making a lasting, positive impact. This commitment to community involvement was especially evident this year as&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/crust-pizza-co/info">Crust Pizza Co.&nbsp;</a>reached a significant milestone in its partnership with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.stjude.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=giving-back-one-slice-at-a-time-crust-pizza-co-raises-over-100000-for-st-jude-childrens-research-hospital-2728865" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital</a>, raising over $100,000 to support the fight against childhood cancer.<h2>The Power of Community-Driven Giving</h2>Franchisees, team members and loyal customers have played an essential role in this incredible achievement, raising funds through initiatives like the "Pizza of the Month" and the "Crust Cup," with a portion of proceeds going directly to St. Jude’s life-saving mission.&nbsp;For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/carl-comeaux-2ab87a3b/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=giving-back-one-slice-at-a-time-crust-pizza-co-raises-over-100000-for-st-jude-childrens-research-hospital-2728865" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Carl Comeaux</a>, CEO of Crust Pizza Co., the cause hits close to home. "This is very personal for me. My son ended up getting cancer at 5 years old and St. Jude’s was a godsend,” he said. “This was also during COVID, and we were navigating his chemo treatments during a very difficult time. St. Jude’s helped tremendously. Walking those halls — it is really special. That is why it gives me chills to think about the fact that we’ve been able to give back.”The St. Jude donation is just one example of Crust’s broader commitment to community service. It demonstrates how a business can leverage its resources to make a meaningful impact on important causes. By integrating charitable initiatives into its business model, Crust Pizza Co. shows that success isn’t just about financial growth; it’s also about making a difference in people’s lives.<h2>Core Values That Drive Success</h2>Crust’s success is not just rooted in great pizza — it’s deeply tied to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crustpizzaco.com/post/cpc-1851-franchise-p1727454795?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=giving-back-one-slice-at-a-time-crust-pizza-co-raises-over-100000-for-st-jude-childrens-research-hospital-2728865" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">the core values</a> that define the brand:&nbsp;Commitment, Respect, Unity, Service and Thankfulness (CRUST). These values guide every decision, every interaction and every pizza that leaves the oven.Commitment is at the foundation, with franchisees expected to commit not only to the brand’s high standards but also to their local communities. “We aren’t just a franchise; we’re a local pizzeria,” said Comeaux. This commitment extends beyond business operations to genuine community engagement, ensuring Crust becomes a cherished part of every neighborhood it serves.Respect within the team and toward customers creates an environment of mutual trust, which leads to better service and, ultimately, customer loyalty. By respecting everyone — employees, guests and partners — Crust fosters an atmosphere where great experiences are the norm.Unity is key in maintaining a cohesive team dynamic, whether it’s within the restaurant or the broader company. “It’s all about the team,” Comeaux said. “We all need to work together and look out for each other to accomplish our shared goals.”Service goes beyond delivering food — it’s about creating memorable experiences for each guest. This philosophy is reflected in small gestures that make a big difference, like offering free desserts to families or providing kids with pizza dough to play with while they wait for their meal.Finally,&nbsp;Thankfulness&nbsp;permeates every aspect of Crust’s operations. Comeaux sums it up: “We’ve got to be thankful and grateful for this opportunity that we get to serve our guests each and every day.” This attitude of gratitude fosters an environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated.<h2>The Future of Giving</h2>As&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/crust-pizza-co/crust-pizza-co-kicks-off-2025-with-two-new-openings-in-february-2728489#featured">Crust Pizza Co. continues to grow</a>, the brand’s commitment to supporting communities, and causes like St. Jude’s, remains a priority. Their journey of giving back is far from over, and with each slice of pizza sold, Crust Pizza Co. continues to build on its legacy of service, unity and commitment.“It really is true what they say: the more you give, the more you receive,” said Comeaux.For more information on franchising with Crust Pizza Co, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/crust-pizza-co/info">https://1851franchise.com/crust-pizza-co/info</a>.
