Marco\u2019s Pizza is extending its Toledo, Ohio, headquarters all the way to Orlando. The pizza chain today announced the development of a new Operations Center of Excellence designed to elevate franchisee training and strengthen operational execution.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Located at 222 S. Orange Ave. in downtown Orlando, the approximately 14,030-square-foot center will serve as a corporate office, training destination, and operational hub, and is backed by an investment of more than $1 million. It will include a fully equipped training kitchen designed to replicate a real Marco’s Pizza store kitchen and create a hands-on learning environment. It will also be used to host discovery days for prospective franchisees, and serve as the home of Marco\u2019s University, which provides advanced training for franchisees and general managers. Approximately 50 corporate team members will be located at the new site.<\/p>\n
This expansion comes as Marco\u2019s accelerates its national and international growth. The company is targeting more than 80 new store openings this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
