Charlie
Morrison, President and CEO, commented, "It has been a great year for Pizza
Inn. We accomplished nearly all of our goals in the continued effort
to turn around this brand. Our positive same store sales growth is
evidence of a preference by customers to choose Pizza Inn’s quality over that of
our competition. Much of the work completed this year will manifest
itself in the opening of our next Company-operated restaurant in Denton, Texas
next month. This buffet-style restaurant will showcase a new, yet
familiar, look to the Pizza Inn brand which represents the future of
Company-owned and franchised Pizza Inn’s everywhere.”
