Marco’s Pizza, the Ohio-based pizza chain known for its exceptional quality and commitment to customer satisfaction, is expanding its footprint to New Mexico. The company has announced a strategic nine-unit development deal, marking its first foray into The Land of Enchantment. This expansion will be spearheaded by franchisees Chris and Kristian Ornelas, who currently operate 38 Fiesta Auto Insurance locations across the state.
Site selection is already underway, with the first two Marco’s Pizza locations set to open in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho before the end of the first quarter of next year. This move represents a significant milestone for Marco’s Pizza as it continues to grow rapidly and bring its beloved pizza to new markets.
“We are thrilled to welcome Chris and Kristian to Marco’s,” said Gerardo Flores, Chief Development Officer at Marco’s Pizza. “Our expansion into New Mexico is a testament to our commitment to delivering our exceptional product to new regions. This strategic growth aligns perfectly with our vision of reaching more customers and tapping into the vast potential we see across New Mexico. Our research indicates that the state is on the brink of significant growth, and we are excited to contribute to its development while also expanding our presence.”
This expansion into New Mexico is part of Marco’s Pizza’s broader growth strategy, which includes several new developments both domestically and internationally. Recently, the chain opened its first of 50 planned stores in Mexico City and announced additional expansion plans for Idaho, Ohio, and Indiana.
“When looking to invest in our second business, we wanted to combine our franchising experience with our passion for pizza,” said Chris Ornelas. “Marco’s offers a superior product that is consistently delivered. With the combination of high-quality offerings and strong franchise operations, we saw a significant opportunity to introduce Marco’s to an untapped market.”
The entry into New Mexico underscores Marco’s Pizza’s dedication to expanding its reach and bringing its high-quality pizza to new customers. As the company continues to grow, it remains focused on delivering the exceptional experience that has made it a favorite among pizza lovers.
