Franchise Opportunity in West Texas

June 16, 2014

The next stop for Russo’s is Odessa, Texas. Currently, Russo’s is scouting qualified investors to open several restaurants in West Texas. This region is among one of the nation’s fastest growing markets with an evolving and booming economy.

Odessa’s changing demographic represents an increasing number of families moving into the city’s surrounding neighborhoods. The area proves to be a hotbed for authentic Italian cuisine, and has an especially strong need for eateries, specifically in the downtown area. Additionally, the city of Odessa and Main Street Odessa are encouraging businesses to develop within the downtown area to alleviate the strong need for lunch and dinner spots.

Russo’s is continuing to grow the brand into an international presence, and is making it easier than ever to get started on this exciting journey. With several restaurants planned to open across multiple markets, Odessa is currently among the hot markets for Russo’s.

Chef Anthony Russo, who started the business from scratch at the age of 17, is especially excited to spread the family focused business model to western Texas and is seeking interested investors in the area. For franchise information please contact Russo’s at  nypizzeria.com/franchise.
