Mr Gatti’s Pizza will begin opening its first 12 in-store locations within Walmart across the US states of Texas and Oklahoma, initiating a significant expansion strategy.
The move taps into the growing trend of convenience dining, aiming to provide Walmart customers with easy access to quality meal options.
The rollout is set to occur before Thanksgiving 2024, marking the beginning of a broader plan to establish 92 Walmart in-store locations in four states over the following 18 months.
The inaugural location opened on 4 November 2024 in Mexia, Texas.
Mr Gatti’s Pizza CEO Jim Phillips said: “The grand opening of these initial locations is a milestone for Mr Gatti’s as we launch our partnership with Walmart.
“By bringing our restaurants into Walmart, we’re making it easier for families to enjoy our pizza — whether they’re shopping, picking it up to go or having it delivered. This first location sets the standard for what customers can expect as we expand in the coming months.”
