Hungry Howie's offers quality products with its unique Flavored Crust Pizza and has perfected its operating system and product mix. Today's marketplace demands service, product quality and the convenience of home delivery. Hungry Howie's continues to demonstrate its expertise and success in this field.
Product quality and consistency are paramount to success in local "neighborhood" markets. Regardless of the extent of advertising and the number of stores in any given area, consumers will ultimately settle on taste preferences and products with the highest perceived value. Consumer allegiance is earned, not assumed, by providing the right taste, at the right price, at the right time. That's why Hungry Howie's has succeeded in the nation's most competitive markets. Hungry Howie's products are developed for the consumer, in direct response to consumer demands. That's a big advantage for your neighborhood-oriented business. Our "national" image provides the added touch of creditability and perceived value to enhance your opportunity for a significant share of the business in your local area, where it counts the most.

Franchise consultants are carefully selected to ensure proper mix of academic knowledge, skill and practical experience, often gained within our own franchise system. Hungry Howie's maintains a complete staff of franchise support personnel to ensure efficient administration and program coordination.
How will you support me if I'm the first Hungry Howie's owner in a new territory?
You'll be entitled to the same service and support programs available to other franchise owners. Because the concentration of stores in any given area makes certain cooperative marketing opportunities possible which may not be immediately available to a single store, our objective is to build strength in numbers on a geographical basis. You will have access to common materials and campaigns with which to conduct effective marketing efforts in your area.

Future Development
Hungry Howie's has markets available nationwide, making their concept attractive to multi-unit operators. Hungry Howie's has developed the franchise with the philosophy of always maintaining conservative, manageable growth.
If Hungry Howie's grows at the planned rate, it would have the potential to threaten large, national chains, according to marketing strategist Al Ries, of Roswell, GA based Ries & Ries.
Bob Cuffaro, VP of Franchise Development states, "Our satisfied franchisees are our biggest selling point. The ultimate compliment is when a franchisee is selling for us through word of mouth. No hard sell at Hungry Howie's, if I have to convince you to sign, you should be doing something else." The development team believes they are not helping the company by awarding franchises to people not cut out for the business when they know the fit isn't right. The team is committed to the continuing growth and expansion of the franchise system with quality franchisees.

For over thirty-five years, Hungry Howie's Pizza has built a better pizza franchise eight different ways – or more specifically, with eight flavors of crust. Branding itself as the home of the Original Flavored Crust pizza, the chain has made its mark by offering customers a choice of original, ranch, onion, garlic herb, sesame seed, buttered, butter cheese and cajun. That twist on the traditional pizza menu instantly sets Hungry Howie's apart from the look-alike pizza franchises, making it a good investment for prospective franchise owners. With over 575 locations in 24 states they have combined the right ingredients to create a competitive, growth-oriented operation. In 2004, Pizza Today Magazine named Hungry Howie's Pizza Chain of the Year.
