Yes. Tell Russo's which city or trade area interests you. Share your role, team, budget and target date.
The franchise team will review your market and plan. You can then discuss pizza franchise costs, training and support, and next steps.
Start with one trade area and compare sites with local data. This guide does not promise that a site or territory is open. Russo's must approve the candidate, market and proposed site.
Russo's will review your request and reply with next steps.
Before evaluating Minnesota, understand the Russo's restaurant concept, review investment requirements and explore training and support. Then use the local research below to prepare your market questions.
Your local market plan
Compare Minneapolis–St. Paul, Rochester, Duluth as distinct trade areas. Check nearby homes, jobs, schools and shops. Review parking, rent, staffing and delivery access for each proposed site.
The places below are research starting points, not approved sites, existing restaurant locations or available territories.
Minneapolis–St. Paul: Maple Grove and Woodbury are separate suburban family-dining markets on opposite sides of the Twin Cities; build local delivery plans rather than assuming the metro functions as one catchment.
Rochester: Mayo Clinic's downtown campus offers a medical-workplace and visitor meal context, while northwest Rochester along U.S. 52 calls for a separate household and retail assessment.
Duluth: Miller Hill's retail corridor and Canal Park have different resident and visitor meal patterns; account for hillside routes and winter access when testing pickup and delivery service.
Chef-founded. More than pizza.
New York-style pizza brings people in. Pasta, Italian entrees, salads and desserts give guests more ways to order and return. Russo’s pairs a chef-created menu with dine-in, takeout, delivery and catering.
Your Minnesota forecast should test each channel separately, including labor, food costs, delivery fees and local competition. More channels do not guarantee more profit.
Explore the menu and ingredientsKnow the commitment
A Minnesota pizza franchise budget starts with the published U.S. range, then requires a site-specific estimate. The current Franchise Disclosure Document governs the investment table, fees, assumptions and obligations.
Do not treat historical Net Sales as profit or personal income. Review operating costs, working capital and the disclosure documents with your own advisers.
Review U.S. investment detailsTraining takes place in Houston, with opening support in-market and Sysco distribution statewide in Minnesota.
Review the current Franchise Disclosure Document for the scope of training, opening assistance and supplier obligations.

Russo’s is not currently offering or selling franchises in Minnesota. The questions below are for preliminary research. A waitlist inquiry does not reserve a territory or establish an opening date.
While registration is unavailable, prepare independent research maps for Maple Grove and Woodbury. Document local pickup routes and winter access rather than one proposed service radius spanning the metro.
For Rochester and Duluth, distinguish household dinners from medical visitors, workplace lunches and seasonal trips. Record hillside access or parking questions that would need field verification before any future site proposal.
