Papa Murphy's Franchise Model Overview

Papa Murphy's stores build pizzas to order for customers to bake at home, which eliminates ovens, dining rooms, and delivery from the operation and shrinks the footprint and staffing. Because the product is uncooked, stores can accept SNAP/EBT in most states, which broadens the customer base. The brand has been contracting for several years and has closed stores in overbuilt markets; a buyer should look at the specific store's trend and competitive set rather than the brand's overall footprint. The system is mostly franchised with a modest company-operated base.

Ideal owner profile

Owner-operator or small multi-unit operator who wants a simplified pizza format

Willing to do market-level diligence on a brand that has been shrinking
