We expect banks to look favorably on this incentive as a way to loosen tight lending standards so that many others can realize their dream of owning their own Pizza Inn franchise. Since opening our Denton store, two additional franchise locations, leveraging the look and feel of the new prototype, have successfully opened. We are also in the market looking for real estate for additional Company-owned locations.”
