Donatos Pizza is advancing plans for additional locations in the region while preparing for its upcoming Houston openings in Atascocita and Missouri City later this year.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">The continued development emphasizes Donatos Pizza&#8217;s long-term growth strategy to establish a strong presence throughout the state, with a goal of opening more than 100 locations over time across key markets including DFW and Houston. The brand&#8217;s Texas growth builds on the momentum generated since entering the state, including multiple DFW openings and development agreements, as well as the recent expansion into Houston.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">&#8220;Texas continues to be an incredibly important market for Donatos, and we&#8217;re seeing strong interest from franchise partners who are passionate about the opportunity to bring our brand to more communities,&#8221; said Jeff Baldwin, VP of Development and Franchising at Donatos Pizza. &#8220;We&#8217;ve already made significant progress in Dallas-Fort Worth, and with Houston now moving toward its opening, there are more opportunities for the right franchise partners to grow with us.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">As Donatos Pizza continues its Texas expansion, the brand will connect directly with prospective franchise partners at Franchise Expo Dallas on September 18-19 at the Irving Convention Center.
