Telepizza, the world’s largest pizza delivery company outside of the US, has announced the launch of its first outlet in the UK.
The opening marks the start of an ambitious growth plan, which will see two new master franchisees and 10 new stores open in the UK in 2017.
Telepizza’s take on iconic pizza recipes has earned it a loyal fan base around the world, with the UK becoming its 20th market presence.
The new store is located in the food court at Treaty Shopping Centre, Hounslow, and will feature a menu that specialises in handmade-to-order pizza. As well as delivery, the store will cater for dine-in visitors to the food court.
Alongside classic pizzas, the menu also features the chef’s signature pizzas, such as the nachos pizza, appealing to consumers who desire to try something different.
Telepizza international president Giorgio Minardi comments: “The launch of our first UK outlet marks an exciting step in our international expansion, which continues to gain momentum.
“The UK is a hugely important market for us, with two new master franchise relationships and a further 10 stores planned in the next year. We know our Mediterranean heritage, outstanding customer service and focus on quality local ingredients, innovative flavours and great value will appeal to British consumers.”
Telepizza currently operates in 20 countries and recently posted €517million in chain sales and €63.6million in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.
With ambition for further business growth through ongoing investment, Telepizza is continuously looking for potential master franchisees.
