The company also introduced its Original XL New York Pizza to three new countries: Poland, Georgia and Northern Macedonia.
“I am so grateful for the faith and trust of our franchisees and our corporate and field teams that have made these milestones possible,” said David Karam, Sbarro CEO. “With our focus on the Impulse Pizza segment, we’ve been able to feature or Pizza by the Slice and Strombolis to drive customer loyalty. By honing in on our key points of differentiation, it’s opened the doors to numerous new venues for growth including military bases, theme parks, C-stores, train stations and travel centers. I’m especially proud that our openings have been so balanced worldwide with half coming in the U.S. and half in the now more than 25 countries we operate in.”
With the number of Sbarro restaurants in the system approaching 700, Sbarro is excited not just in the growth this year, but they anticipate the number of openings to increase in future years.
