The company was set up in 2013 and rolled out its franchising programme in late 2018, along with new branding and a business concept.
It is currently seeking qualified franchisees to expand across the country, especially in college town markets in the Southeast region.
Prospective franchisees need to have a minimum net worth of $250,000 and should be a multi-unit operator in the restaurant industry.
As per Stoner’s Pizza Joint’s Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), an investment range of $90,000 to $206,000 is required to open the first location for franchisees, including $25,000 as a franchise fee.
