High visibility a must Opportunity Description When Scott Gittrich opened the first Toppers Pizza in Whitewater, Wisconsin 25 years ago, he did so with one goal in mind—to change the landscape of the competitive pizza industry, one delicious box full of Pizza and Topperstix at a time. Since then, Toppers has established an audacious reputation as the forwardthinking pizza pioneers who never stop innovating. We’ve formulated the perfect recipe to appeal to both pizza enthusiasts and savvy investors. Toppers is one of the fastest growing better-pizza chains in the United States. Our brand has doubled in size over the last three years and completely sold out three states based on growth spurred by both existing franchisees and established multi-unit operators.
