Marco’s Pizza has signed a new 16-unit development agreement in California, further reinforcing its expansion strategy and demand among experienced multi-unit franchise operators.
The latest agreement comes after franchisee Baljit Gill originally committed to four locations. After seeing early performance, support systems, and long-term opportunity within the brand, he expanded the deal by adding 12 more stores.
That kind of reinvestment is often one of the strongest indicators of franchise confidence.
Existing and Upcoming Locations
Three Marco’s Pizza restaurants are already open across Southern California:
- Upland
- Fontana
- Hesperia
Two additional units are currently being developed in:
- Yucaipa
- Highland
Future locations are now being evaluated across other Southern California trade areas.
Experienced Operator With Multi-Brand Background
Gill brings decades of franchising experience and currently operates multiple restaurant locations with his family. The group has built a diversified portfolio and uses a shared leadership model to support expansion.
Their structure includes:
- Centralized management
- Family-led operations
- Multi-brand experience
- Scalable staffing systems
- Long-term market development focus
This operational background makes them an ideal fit for aggressive franchise growth.
Marco’s Pizza National Expansion Plans
Marco’s Pizza has continued expanding across the U.S. and internationally. Following strong store growth last year, the company is targeting more openings while entering new domestic and global markets.
Strategic priorities include:
- New market development
- Alternative real estate formats
- Delivery-focused locations
- Menu innovation
- Multi-unit franchise recruitment
Digital Investments Driving Efficiency
The company is also modernizing technology systems to improve both customer experience and store-level execution. Investments include mobile ordering, loyalty enhancements, cloud-based systems, and labor forecasting tools.
For franchisees, these systems can improve margins, consistency, and operational speed.
With California development gaining momentum, Marco’s Pizza continues to position itself as a growth-focused pizza franchise for serious operators.
