Recently, Pizza Today spoke with Toppers Pizza Founder and President Scott Gittrich about ways the brand has honed talent to drive the franchise&#39;s success. 

&ldquo;Moving up in our growing concept is baked into our cake,&rdquo; Gittrich told Pizza Today. &ldquo;I know the future of our company is in the eyes of the 18- to 25-year-olds I meet in our restaurants all the time.&rdquo; The company has built a solid corporate support team from those who have worked in the brand&#39;s restaurants, and those individuals are better able to support the brand&#39;s growing number of franchisees. &ldquo;We very rarely look outside our company to pull anybody into operations or even field marketing,&rdquo; says Gittrich.
