Pizza Inn has announced a new multi-store Master Franchise Agreement with Al Ruwad Hospitality Services & Restaurants Management Group in Egypt. The partnership will see the first Pizza Inn location opening in Cairo in the fourth quarter of 2024 as part of a seven-store expansion plan.
This development is a key milestone in Pizza Inn’s international growth strategy. Known for its unique blend of flavor, convenience, and value, Pizza Inn has been a globally recognized pizza brand since 1995.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Pizza Inn to bring the brand to the Arab Republic of Egypt,” said Magdy Al Khazrjy, CEO of Al Ruwad Hospitality Services & Restaurants Management Group. “Our shared commitment to excellence, passion for authentic pizza, and dedication to creating memorable experiences for our customers make this collaboration truly special.”
After the initial opening, Al Ruwad Hospitality Services & Restaurants Management Group plans to open two additional locations each year for the next three years across various cities in Egypt. These restaurants will feature Pizza Inn’s signature menu, including pizzas, pasta dishes, wings, and the famous Pizzerts®.
“Working with Al Ruwad Hospitality Services & Restaurants Management Group to expand Pizza Inn’s presence in Egypt is a great honor,” said Brandon Solano, CEO of RAVE Restaurant Group. “We are confident that they will bring our brand to life, strengthening our presence in the Middle East and introducing Pizza Inn to new markets, while upholding the quality that has made us America’s Hometown Pizza Buffet and a family favorite for over 65 years.”
