Stoner’s Pizza Joint’s franchising program launched in 2018 with the goal of growing the brand’s footprint to 100 locations by 2023.
Since the launch, Stoner’s has continued to identify the Southeast region as a key market for expansion. The company just celebrated the grand opening of their restaurant prototype in Columbia, South Carolina. The company also recently signed a franchise agreement in Florida to develop two new restaurants. Additionally, the company will be opening a new restaurant in Nacogdoches, Texas with franchisee the DhaMir Group, in early Q1.
