KNOW WHERE
Real Estate
Our real estate department can help you find the location that offers your pizza franchise the best possibility of success. You are responsible for finding your location; our real estate department will help you find an experienced, professional realtor. Once you have located a potential site using our site selection criteria you must complete and submit a site review form. We will then visit the site, examine the trading area, and provide a site assessment. After site approval we will assist you with understanding the terms available for your lease or property purchase. We are available to offer guidance based on our extensive experience in negotiations but it is your responsibility to negotiate the final terms. Your attorney should review your lease or purchase agreement before you sign it.
Construction
Our Construction Department will provide a floor plan as well as equipment specifications for a standard Papa Gino’s pizza franchise; your architect will adapt our plan to fit your approved site. After our Construction and Operations Departments approve the restaurant plans, your architect will be responsible for obtaining bids and monitoring construction along with our Construction Department.
