DALLAS — Canadian pizza chain Freshslice, which specializes in selling pizza by the slice, is coming to North Texas.
The company announced this week its first two U.S. locations will be in Dallas-Fort Worth. They're planning to open in late spring, and are planning to open in Frisco and near the TCU campus in Fort Worth.
Freshslice was founded in Canada in 1999 by CEO Ray Russell. It’s since expanded to more than 100 stores in Canada. The North Texas franchises will be spearheaded by Dallas-based CIO and tech executive Trenton Parks, the company said.
"Ray's vision of being the Starbucks of Pizza is more than a tagline or slogan, this level of success is built into every aspect of the brand," said Parks. "When compared to other popular U.S.-based pizza brands, Freshslice minimum investment fee is significantly lower, and in many cases, half the costs of its competitors. The brand's dedication to pizza perfection and its revolutionary turn-key franchise operation makes this an exciting endeavor and I am excited to bring this to the Lone Star State."
Freshslice offers a three-in-one system of pizza by the slice, unlimited toppings at one price, and delivery.
"We are thrilled to welcome Trenton into the Freshslice family, bringing our style of fresh pizza to the great state of Texas," said Russell. "Our 3-n-1 system meets the evolving needs of our franchisee partners at a fraction of our competitors' cost. Our franchise partners can expect a focus on our vision, values, and culture and an extremely successful model that boasts operational efficiency, high ROI and head office support."
