Tell us a little bit about your background.

I&rsquo;ve lived in the Columbus area for 16 years, working in software sales. My wife, Katie, is a homemaker, but we used to own and operate a Sport Clips, which she ran. We owned Sport Clips for five years and sold the business in 2010 looking to do something different. I will continue my full time job and we&#39;ll have a general manager to run the day-to-day operations of our <a href="http://franchise.yourpie.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-voices-matt-iwaszkiewicz-of-your-pie-7991" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Your Pie</a>.

Why did you choose to become a franchisee with <a href="http://yourpie.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchisee-voices-matt-iwaszkiewicz-of-your-pie-7991" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Your Pie</a>?&nbsp;

We were looking into investing with a new franchise concept and I loved the fast casual pizza segment, which is booming right now. I am perpetually hungry and when I found out about Your Pie through an online search, I was impressed. It was a compelling concept and message, we liked the corporate team and loved that we were getting in just as the business is&nbsp;starting to explode, leaving room for growth.

What&rsquo;s next for you and your business?&nbsp;

We do plan on expanding. This will be the anchor store and we would like to develop the Columbus market. Columbus has become a huge foodie town and the demographics of the community lends itself it to craft beer and pizza mindset. We&rsquo;ll be opening the first location in the gentrified and popular Grandview neighborhood near downtown.
