There&rsquo;s no doubt that <a href="http://www.toppersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=toppers-pizza-fuels-growth-by-reinvesting-in-company-owned-stores-5694" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Toppers Pizza</a> is on a roll.

With 70-plus locations in 13 states, the brand is continuing its long tradition of stealing the spotlight from the major players in the pizza industry by establishing a presence in new communities across the country. Just this year, Toppers inked three multi-unit franchise development deals that will add 41 new units to its ever-growing system. And now, the brand is building on that momentum by adding even more stores to its network. But this time, the restaurants are being spearheaded by Toppers&rsquo; corporate team.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s extremely important for us to not just grow through franchising, but also by opening company stores. It&rsquo;s an integral part of Toppers&rsquo; overall nationwide expansion strategy,&rdquo; said Scott Gittrich, founder and CEO of Toppers Pizza. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re 100 percent confident in our business model and system. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve always been so consistent when it comes to opening up company owned restaurants for business.&rdquo;

In 2017, <a href="http://topperspizza.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=toppers-pizza-fuels-growth-by-reinvesting-in-company-owned-stores-5694" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Toppers</a> will add more corporate stores to its network by opening up four new locations in Indiana. Investing in these stores provides Toppers with unique insight to its system of locally owned restaurants&mdash;the brand&rsquo;s corporate team has the opportunity to access information that otherwise wouldn&rsquo;t be available.

&ldquo;Corporate stores will always be a significant piece of our brand. You can&rsquo;t operate a successful business unless you&rsquo;re in the trenches every day getting that first-hand experience,&rdquo; said Mark Cairns, director of franchise development at Toppers Pizza. &ldquo;By growing the Toppers brand ourselves and reinvesting in stores, we&rsquo;re getting real world information that ultimately enhances our entire franchise system.&rdquo;

Investing in its own brand is just another way Toppers shows its commitment to being the best the increasingly popular pizza industry has to offer. The brand works tirelessly to stay ahead of the competition&mdash;from being local store owners to rolling out new and innovative menu items on a regular basis, Toppers goes above and beyond to create the best possible experience for each and every one of its customers.

That trend is expected to continue in the months and years to come. As Toppers expands its national presence&mdash;through both franchised and company owned locations&mdash;it will continue to distinguish itself as the indisputable leader of the pizza segment.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s an exciting time to be a part of the Toppers brand. We&rsquo;re experiencing incredible growth, and we&rsquo;re only going to expand from here. With major multi-unit development deals and more corporate stores opening their doors, we&rsquo;re already positioned for another record-breaking year in 2017,&rdquo; Gittrich said.
