PTG Studios is pleased to announce the selection of Everett, WA-based Garlic Jim’s Famous Gourmet Pizza for its innovative, educational television series, “Today’s Family.” The company will be featured in a “Be Your Own Boss” segment in a series highlighting America’s Best Franchise Opportunities.
Sounds like a simple concept—offer unforgettable pizza and get it there fast. Yet, it took a whole new franchise to achieve this. The "Garlic Guys" figured out how to make delicious gourmet pizza while providing excellent and fast service to your door. They have perfected the "science" of prompt pizza delivery by experimenting and formulating the best tasting pizza on the market. Never again will you have to choose between great pizza and great service. The executives all have years of experience with pizza—on a national level as well as on a local one.
They offer “Gourmet right away” pizza selections and incorporate unusual ingredients such as cashews, marinated artichoke hearts and coconut into their signature pies. In addition to the new Smokin' Sweet BBQ Chicken, Garlic Jim's offers such gourmet pizza options as: Nutty Chipotle™, zesty chipotle pesto topped with spicy sausage, pepperoni, red onions, tomatoes and cashews, Jim's Gourmet Garlic™, basil pesto sauce, marinated artichoke hearts, roasted garlic, red onions, sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese, and Chicken Bacon Ranch, premium chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, red onions and creamy ranch sauce. Rich buttermilk goes into the hand-tossed dough, which is cooled and delivered fresh to each pizza location. Garlic Jim's also uses whole milk mozzarella produced by an Idaho dairy and a custom, freshly packed pizza sauce made from California tomatoes.
Garlic Jim’s is a one-of-a-kind concept and franchise system offering: ongoing operational training and assistance, a complete launch support package for franchisees, regional commissaries as a foundation for profitable growth, marketing programs and consistent branding. In addition to exceptional taste by using only fresh, high quality ingredients, Garlic Jim’s offers customers the best pizza experience on the market. From the expertly designed and refined kitchen to the modern lobby, from customer care to prompt carry-out and delivery times, Garlic Jim’s exudes upscale gourmet in every aspect of operation.
So far, it's been a recipe for a chain that's expanded from one store to two dozen in multiple states in just two years. And Garlic Jim's plans to open dozens more franchises in the coming year.
"We're right on pace with our goal, to sell 500 locations within five years," said Dwayne Northrop, the company's president and chief executive officer. Plans call for an additional 120 units to be sold in CA, AZ, NV, WA and OR, and opening another 27, for a total of 50 opened units by the end of 2006. In addition, Garlic Jim's recently announced a 70-store sub-franchise agreement throughout Northern New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania, with the corporate franchising company Francept, LLC.
