Toppers Pizza in Franchise Times

We were featured in Franchise Times. In the current world of franchise construction financing, options abound. As we move farther away from the recession, more banks and lenders are offering a variety of ways to finance a franchise construction project.

Toppers Pizza opened 17 new locations in 2014 and has plans to open a dozen or more locations in 2015.

Toppers Pizza opening Saturday in Bay View
By Carol Deptolla of the Journal Sentinel

The newest Milwaukee-area Toppers Pizza is opening at Saturday in Bay View, and the company says it's likely the last for the area for a while.

The store, at 2262 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., opens at 10:30 a.m., and the Whitewater-based chain's openings tend to draw a crowd -- the first 50 customers in line receive free food for a year.
