Pie Five Pizza announced a multi-unit development agreement with franchise partner Umar Ibrahim to build eight to 10 Pie Five locations in the San Antonio area. The first location will open in mid-2016, according to a company press release.

"Pie Five is on fire in Dallas-Fort Worth and with similar demographics, I know it will do very well in the San Antonio market too," Ibrahim said. "I really did my homework on the fast casual pizza segment and found that Pie Five offered a value and service proposition that was hard to beat."

In the last month, Pie Five has announced multi-unit development deals for new locations in North Carolina and South Florida, the release stated. Pie Five opened its first location in Fort Worth in 2011 and has since expanded around the state in Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston. Locations in Austin and Lubbock will open in the coming months.

"Umar is a great addition to our franchise team bringing extensive restaurant operations experience to our brand — we're thrilled to have him on board to develop the South Central Texas area," said Randy Gier, chief eating officer of Rave Restaurant Group Inc."We know Texans love Pie Five and the communities in and around San Antonio will appreciate having a fast, fresh, customized pizza option to enjoy with friends and family."

Dallas-based Pie Five Pizza Co. is a subsidiary of RAVE Restaurant Group Inc. RAVE owns, franchises and supplies more than 300 Pie Five and Pizza Inn restaurants operating domestically and internationally.
