Marco’s Pizza, recently recognized as America’s favorite pizza company, is targeting the greater Des Moines area for growth. The company has announced plans to introduce 15 locations through strategic franchise partnerships. To drive development efforts in the market, Marco’s Pizza’s leadership team is hosting a town hall at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at the Des Moines Marriott Downtown, located at 700 Grand Avenue.

The first Marco’s Pizza location in the market recently opened under the ownership of local residents Dan and Sherri Holmes. A lifelong resident of Des Moines, Dan was eager to introduce Marco’s Pizza’s quality product to his hometown after learning about the franchise on its 2016 Undercover Boss episode. While only having been open for a few weeks, business has boomed, and the Holmes are hoping to open an additional two locations within the next two years.
