An experienced pizza franchise operator searched for a pizza chain to develop in the Kansas City market. The brand that stood out that had upside for 10-15 stores in the market was Marco’s Pizza. He signed a four-store (now two-store) agreement and opened one location in March 2022 in Shawnee Hills, KS and one location in September 2022 in Lee’s Summit, MO (both in KC area).

A short time after opening, the owner’s partner who was supposed to operate the stores left with other life plans. Since that time, the stores have been absentee run and they need an active owner/operator to easily achieve the higher profitability standard for Marco’s stores. The owner has other businesses and wishes to sell Marco’s stores to an owner/operator who can take ownership with
only 10% down and 90% seller note. It is an extraordinary situation and an extraordinary opportunity for someone who will go through Marco’s training and pass the franchisor’s personal financial application.

• The owner spent $1.175 million to build the two stores in 2022: Shawnee $575k and Lee’s Summit $600k.
• Year 2 typical store EBITDA for both is $410k*; Shawnee $180k EBITDA Year 2 and
  Lee’s Summit $230k EBITDA in Year 2.
  • *Note: Pro forma template for the typical store performance provided by Marco’s Pizza franchisor

Marco’s has huge growth potential — now more than ever. The Franchisor has invested in support, technology, and marketing to help franchisees operate their units efficiently using state-of-the-art systems in order to open multiple locations.
