Sterling Heights, Mich. — Jet’s Pizza®, known for its famous Detroit-style pizza, is growing its brand more than ever coming into 2022. This year, Jet’s plans to open 30 new locations. It will expand westward and introduce Jet’s in new states and markets, including Utah, Kansas, New Mexico, Washington and Las Vegas.
Expansion also continues in existing markets, including Denver; Phoenix; Austin, Texas; New York City; Chicago; and Naples and Pensacola, Fla.
“It’s truly incredible to see the love for our brand grow. People appreciate quality and that’s what sets us apart,” says John Jetts, president of Jet’s America, Inc. “We continue to have new franchisees who want to be part of this era of growth. Last year we had 294 new applicants want to open up their own Jet’s Pizza.”
In addition to making Detroit-style pizza with quality ingredients, new franchisees can enjoy the technological advancements Jet’s has developed and enhanced over the past 5 years. Jet’s customers can order their pizza online, text to order or use a third-party aggregator site. The franchise also recently launched a new phone bot ordering system utilizing AI technology.
Total digital sales in 2021 increased by 37.2% when compared to 2020. In 2021, text to order alone generated $31,360,000 in sales. On average, stores with the text-to-order feature saw a 24% increase in total sales.
Jet’s expects this number to continue to grow as text to order becomes more widely available across the franchise and as more locations open doors in 2022.
Jet’s Pizza® is based in Sterling Heights, Mich. It was founded as Jetts Party Shoppe and Pizzeria in 1978 by brothers, John and Eugene Jetts. Since then, it has now grown to nearly 400 stores in 19 states. For more information, visit www.jetspizza.com.
