Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza has opened its 300th restaurant — just two months after celebrating its sixth birthday. Founded in 2012, Blaze has expanded from its California base into 42 states and five countries. In the coming year, the company will open about one restaurant every five to six days — with its milestone 500th location projected to open by 2021, according to a company press release.
To support its growth, the build-your-own pizza chain is adding 30 franchise partners to its existing group of 55 multi-unit franchise developers.
"Now that our current franchise partners are established, we're excited to add the next wave of new franchisees to our family," said Carolyne Canady, chief development officer and president of Blaze Pizza's international division. "We've just opened up a handful of territories and are inviting experienced multi-unit operators to get in touch with us to learn more about possible opportunities in their markets."
