Mama Fu's acquires Austin's Pizza to enhance both brands' efficiencies

April 17, 2018

Pizza or Chinese is no longer the question in Austin, Texas, where two brands are joining forces to offer customers some of both. According to the Austin-American Statesman, the 24-location Mama Fu's Asian House will acquire the 14-unit Austin's Pizza in a deal to be closed Wednesday. 

Austin's Pizza owner J.D. Torian told the Texas newspaper that the unlikely combination makes sense because Asian food and pizza are often top delivery choices. By combining forces, the two can achieve greater economies of scale including combining delivery forces and other efficiencies since he said the brands will probably co-locate in the future. 

All of the pizza brand's locations are in the Austin area, while Mama Fu's also has stores in Arkansas and Florida. Both brands are expected to open new sites in the future, the article said.
