A well-known Canadian pizza chain is heading down south to Mexico.
Pizza Pizza has inked a deal with Guadalajara-based KSG/GrunCorp. to expand the restaurant chain internationally to the land of sandy beaches and palm trees in 2022.
The chain’s chief executive Paul Goddard says KSG/GrunCorp. is a long-standing business leader in Mexico, with expertise in restaurants and real estate.
“Appeal for pizza continues to grow in Mexico and we believe our delicious food and great value will connect well with Mexican consumers,” adds Goddard.
KSG, which already operates Arby’s in Mexico, will be responsible for developing and growing the restaurants in the country.
Pizza Pizza was founded in Toronto, back in 1967.
Since it opened its first location more than 50 years ago, Pizza Pizza has grown tremendously and now operates more than 730 locations across Canada.
In 2007, Pizza Pizza acquired the Pizza 73 brand and now runs more than 100 locations — primarily in Alberta.
