"Paisano's has proven its solid business model for over a decade. Its franchising potential makes Paisano's the perfect addition to our portfolio of brands to market in D.C., Maryland, Virginia and beyond. To begin with, we plan and hope to sign ten deals to open locations in the area by the end of 2010." The agreement between Paisano's president and CEO Fouad Qreitem and FC will utilize FC's organizational and support system to franchise the brand. Paisano's will be positioned as an Italian delivery concept with an average ticket of $19.
Founded in the Fair Lakes area of Fairfax County by Qreitem, Paisano's has grown to a five-unit chain since first opening in 1997. After refining their systems over the past 12 years and operating the company-owned locations, Paisano's is a seasoned and proven restaurant concept that is poised to flourish as a franchisor. The menu includes gourmet pizza, pasta, subs, stromboli, wings, salads and more. Qreitem also founded Bella Pizza, which is located in Centreville, VA.
"When I founded Paisano's it was our goal to transform the way people think about pizza delivery," Qreitem said. "And now with the help of Franchise Consulting we will be able to do that in the D.C. Metro area, across the nation and ultimately around the world." For more information on Paisano's, visit www.paisanospizza.com.
