Hunt Brothers Pizza makes over $500 million a year by putting tiny pizza stations in gas stations and convenience stores. A $10,000 setup gets you selling pizza by the quarter-slice for $2.89 each, with no franchise fees. They have 9,000 locations across the country.
Biggest pizza chain in the country is one I've never heard of, Hunt Brothers Pizza. These guys found a new way to do the pizza business. They've spread to 9,000 stores, and I'm pretty sure they're doing over $500 million a year in revenue. They created a pizza restaurant that is only like 50 or 100 square feet. The way it works is they put them into convenience stores, gas stations. The owner of the gas station now has a little pizza shop inside. It takes 5 minutes, and they can sell them by the slice, or as they call them, by the hunk. A hunk of pizza is 1/4 of a pizza, and they sell it for $2.89. $499, or you can get two hunks for $549. So you buy the equipment for $10 grand. There's no contract, there's no licensing fee, there's no royalty fee. So it's very different than a traditional franchise. All you do is you have to buy the ingredients from them.
