BLAZE PIZZA
Blaze Pizza franchises operate fast-casual restaurants featuring build-your-own artisan-style pizzas made to order from up to 40 ingredients, fast-fired in open-hearth ovens, along with related food and drink items. The franchisor primarily offers area development agreements allowing qualified franchisees to open multiple restaurants in designated development areas on a set schedule, with single-unit franchises available in certain situations. The target market is the general public in high-traffic locations such as retail strip malls, dense urban areas, regional shopping centers, and entertainment/travel centers.
