Pizza Franchises Celebrate the Beloved Fast Food with Fun Promotions and Discounts
While Halloween, Oktoberfest and breast cancer awareness rightfully command a lot of attention in October, one of the world’s most popular food items, pizza, also gets some love during the fall month.
Gerry Durnell, a pizzeria owner and publisher of Pizza Today magazine, conceived of the idea for National Pizza Month in October 1984. He chose October because it marked the release of the magazine’s debut issue, according to Pizza Today. Durnell thought a pizza-centric celebration would support the growth of his Indiana-based business and the industry generally.
Fast forward to today, and pizza franchises are thriving in the U.S. as they meet the demand of the 93% of Americans who eat pizza at least once a month. According to worldmetrics.org, 17% of all U.S. restaurants are pizzerias, and the industry is worth $46 billion.
