HotBox Pizza Planned For Carmel
HotBox Pizza, an Indianapolis-based pizzeria known for being “Hot, but not Skanky,” announced that it has sold its first franchise.
HotBox began an aggressive franchising campaign in October of this year to expand the popular brand.
“We are proud to announce the sale of our very first franchise,” said Gabe Connell, owner of HotBox Pizza. “We created HotBox Pizza to fill the gap between the bland, big chains and the neighborhood gourmet pizza restaurants. With locations already Downtown, in Broad Ripple, Fishers and Lafayette, a new store in Carmel makes perfect sense.”
Two well-known local restaurateurs plan to open two HotBox Pizza franchises in Carmel, Ind. within the next 18 months. Pete Watson, a franchisee of Buffalo Wild Wings and operator of 14 Indiana locations, is partnering with Steve Wechter, owner of Famous Jack’s Burgers ‘n Brew, to open their first HotBox Pizza in early January 2009. The new franchise will serve the same eclectic selection of pizzas HotBox is known for, including the Hot Chick, the Big Cheese and Porky the Pie. Salads, beer and wine will also be added to the Carmel menu. Read more.
