The artisanal pizza franchise is searching for qualified candidates to grow alongside the brand as it kicks off its franchise model.
Craft House Pizza, a full-service restaurant featuring artisanal pizza and a unique beer selection made by its affiliate, Hometown Brewing Co., has just announced the official launch of its franchise sales initiative.
For Founder Tom Brown, the step to franchise came about organically as the company has experienced steady demand and continual growth since 2021. “Franchising seemed like a natural way to grow our business and leverage the strength of our systems and people,” he said.
Craft House Pizza has five successful locations within the Louisville and Lawrenceburg, Kentucky areas, offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to join its already robust brand. Two more locations are coming soon to the area; one in Germantown, targeted to open its doors early April, and one in Colonial Gardens due to open in mid-March. Brown points out that although they are interested in expanding nationally in the future, he and his team are seeking franchise partners closer to the corporate locations during the initial rollout.
“We would like to keep things close to home in the beginning. Areas of interest for expansion are in Southern Indiana, including Frankfort, Shelbyville, Simpsonville, Lexington, and Richmond,” stated Brown. “We will also make exceptions for tropical locations.”
Craft House Pizza stands solid within one of the strongest industry niches in the U.S. — pizza — making it one of the best choices for anyone, from first time entrepreneurs to veteran investors, said Brown.
“Pizza remains a robust and resilient market, thriving in both good and challenging economic times. Our company operates with highly effective systems within this market, utilizing data-driven strategies that we pass directly to our franchisees,” he said. “With a positive attitude and basic restaurant knowledge, franchisees can chart a course for success with our support at their side all along the way.”
The company works to integrate itself within every community in which it is planted. Through steady employee relationships and its very own Hearts and Crafts Foundation, a 501c3 organization, Craft House Pizza offers an accessible hub for both staff and visitors alike.
“We take pride in our ability and responsibility to support our employees in navigating successful life plans, whether through education or a fulfilling professional career,” said Brown. “Plus, our franchisees will have access to our charitable organization Hearts and Crafts Foundation. This 501c3 can be used to consolidate fundraising and promote community involvement.”
