Why franchise with Pizza Factory in Idaho?

  1. Rapid Population Growth

Idaho is one of the fastest-growing states in the country, with an increasing population rate that consistently outpaces the national average. As more and more people flock to Idaho’s cities and surrounding towns, this surge introduces a wider demographic who are excited about new local businesses.

Driven by migration, this population increase brings with it younger people with higher incomes. For franchisees, this means a constantly expanding customer base that’s hungry for new experiences and an eager workforce. With our focus on local connections, Pizza Factory locations thrive in close-knit communities, and Idaho’s growing population makes it the perfect spot to open new fast-casual restaurants.

  1. Business-Friendly Environment

A business-friendly state, Idaho makes it easier for entrepreneurs and franchise owners to set up shop. The state has the second lowest property taxes in the U.S., fewer regulations, and an overall pro-business climate which creates an ideal environment for franchises to succeed. Idaho’s policies are designed to attract and retain businesses, helping them grow and thrive. This low-barrier entry is especially attractive for potential franchisees who want to minimize startup costs and maximize profitability in a supportive setting.

As Idaho’s cities expand, so does the infrastructure.

Additionally, Idaho has several programs specifically designed to support businesses including Community Development Block Grant.
