\"trends\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was talking to my friend Barney last week . He’s very knowledgeable about the food industry, and is one of very few people I know in franchising who, like me, actually worked<\/em> in food-service.<\/p>\n

Now, when I say “worked in food service,<\/em>” in Barney’s case, he was an Owner<\/em>. Barney owned several food concessions at a major university<\/strong><\/a>.  Me-I wasn’t a food-service business Owner<\/em>. Instead, I was in management, and was even a Maitre’D in Las Vegas<\/strong><\/a>, years ago.<\/p>\n

Back to pizza. And, some of the franchising trends<\/strong><\/a> related to it.<\/p>\n

Franchise Trends: Is Pizza Getting Hot Again?<\/h2>\n

Barney, (during a phone call we were having about something else<\/a> at the time<\/em>) told me to start keeping my eye on pizza, and what some of the pizza restaurants in the franchise sector<\/strong><\/a> were doing.<\/p>\n

He told me about the “Gourmet<\/em>” pizza craze that was starting to develop.<\/p>\n

As Barney was sharing his excitement about “Gourmet<\/em>” pizza, I was thinking to myself, “really<\/em>?”<\/p>\n

Like gourmet pizza was something new<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"is<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, surprise, surprise. Gourmet pizza is hot.<\/strong> Again.<\/p>\n

But, why?<\/p>\n

CNBC Says So. That’s Why Gourmet Pizza is Hot<\/h2>\n

Right after Barney and I talked, an article about pizza franchising appeared-almost magically, on the CNBC website.<\/p>\n

I like CNBC.com a lot. Their editors helped me promote my hardcover franchise book<\/a> <\/strong>on their top-rated website.<\/p>\n

CNBC Bonus<\/strong>– My friend and part-time mentor can be seen on CNBC-TV<\/strong><\/a> after the closing bell.<\/p>\n

Back to pizza. Again.<\/p>\n

From CNBC.com:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Consumers want better food, but they still want it quickly. That’s makes fast-casual pizza a compelling proposition for franchises. Chipotle<\/a>, Buffalo Wild Wings and Smashburger are among the existing fast-casual chains investing in the pizza concept.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, that’s<\/em> why gourmet pizza is not only making a comeback, but is now the focus of several pizza and even non<\/em>-pizza franchises?<\/p>\n

Ooookay.<\/em><\/p>\n

There may be another reason. Boredom<\/em>.<\/p>\n

North American consumers may be getting sick of burger and fries.<\/p>\n

(Although franchise chains like 5 Guys are as busy as ever<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

I Guess Gourmet Pizza Is Hot<\/h2>\n

If Barney says it’s hot-it must be<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If the editors over at CNBC.com just spent the time putting together this wonderful pizza franchise slideshow<\/strong><\/a>, well…damn-gourmet pizza must<\/em> be hot-or at least worth a look.<\/p>\n

Right?<\/p>\n

And, if you’re reading about the momentum gourmet pizza currently has-right here on The Franchise King Blog<\/strong>, you know<\/em> it’s hot<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The question is this:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’ve been considering franchise ownership as a way-or maybe even The<\/em> way to help you secure your future, are dreams of owning a gourmet pizza franchise going to start running through your head?<\/p>\n

In other words, is a pizza franchise for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is franchise ownership right for you-at all?<\/p>\n

If so, check out my franchise how-to books<\/strong><\/a>, and my one-on-one, and very<\/em> personal franchise ownership advisory services<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I can help you figure things out.<\/p>\n

Maybe owning a pizza franchise is in the cards.<\/p>\n
