July 11, 2017

Father and son team Rick and Ryan Howard are Uberrito's newest multi-unit franchisees, according to a press release. The duo has committed to three Arizona locations, with the first opening in 2018.

"Adding franchisees of this caliber signals our commitment to deliver an exceptional experience for customers and the community as a whole," Peter Ortiz, chief development officer for Überrito, said in the release. "Rick and Ryan have an impressive background in our industry, but perhaps most impressive is their involvement in serving the communities in which they operate. Their focus on quality, growth, and being engaged in the community will be an asset to our mutual growth plans."

Rick Howard has over 37 years of franchise experience with several concepts, including Pizza Hut, Pita Jungle and Peter Piper Pizza.

"As professionals, we spend our careers looking for that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and joining Überrito as a franchisee is exactly that for me and my family," Rick Howard said in the release. "This is a growing franchise with an unrivaled product and customer experience. As lifelong residents of the greater Phoenix area, we look forward to growing this brand in our hometown and beyond."
