Nashville Post: Your Pie Opens First Nashville Location and Plans for Additional Units in Market
Your Pie's VP of Development Ken Caldwell elaborates on why Nashville is a great fit for the down-the-line originator
Your Pie is entering the Nashville market for the first time, with plans to open a location in the North Gulch area.
According to the Nashville Post, Music City is an area the brand had been targeting for expansion for quite some time due to the strong demographic fit and booming growth. The locally based SMS Holdings Corporation was the perfect partner to do so.
“It exciting to enter the Nashville market,” Your Pie VP of Development Ken Caldwell told the Nashville Post. “We were waiting to find the right partner. And when SMS found us, we realized we had a strong franchisee with lots of experience and a track record of success. With the growth Nashville is seeing, we feel this is the perfect recipe for success."
This is the first restaurant brand that SMS Holdings Corporation has partnered with and the group has plans to open three additional locations in the market.
“After researching many fast-casual pizza concepts, we were very impressed with the Your Pie quality of product and people involved in the company,” Dan Rakestraw, President, Acquisitions & Partnerships at SMS Holdings Corporation told the Nashville Post.
