Marco’s Pizza. one of the nation’s fastest-growing pizza brands, announces a new three-unit franchise agreement to develop in Germantown, Md. and the surrounding area. Behind the multi-unit deal are cousins Sri Masabathula and Sasi Vaddi, operating under SS Brothers Pizza LLC.
Masabathula, who got his start in the industry delivering pizzas for Papa John’s, always dreamed of owning his own pizza franchise. While he briefly pivoted to a career in IT, he quickly realized that his passion and long-term vision lived in the community connections of the pizza business.
“Pizza never left my mind,” said Masabathula. “Marco’s stood out to us because of its commitment to operational excellence and quality ingredients – something we saw firsthand after visiting multiple stores and meeting other franchisees. There’s a lot of brand loyalty here in Maryland, and Marco’s is primed for even more growth.”
Vaddi brings two decades of experience in financial services, complementing partnership with Masabathula’s operational background. Together, they aim to open their first Marco’s Pizza location within 12 months, followed by their second in 18 months and the third in 24 months – all within the Germantown area.
“Our vision is to build something lasting – a family legacy that also serves the local community,” said Vaddi. “Marco’s offered the right model, strong support and room to grow in a market that’s still wide open.”
