Hunt Brothers Pizza

Hunt Brothers Pizza is an American brand of pizza that is sold in convenience stores, gas stations, and general stores. The company was founded by four brothers - Don, Charlie, Jim, and Lonnie Hunt - in 1991. The brand is known for its unique business model, offering pizza in a convenience store setting, and for its distinctive flavor profiles.

History

Hunt Brothers Pizza was founded in 1991 by the Hunt brothers in Nashville, Tennessee. The brothers had previously owned a pizza supply company, which they sold in 1986. After selling their company, they decided to start a new venture that would allow them to sell pizza directly to consumers. This led to the creation of Hunt Brothers Pizza.

The company started with a simple business model: provide convenience stores with a turnkey pizza program that includes all the necessary equipment, ingredients, and training. This model proved to be successful, and the company quickly expanded across the United States.

Products

Hunt Brothers Pizza offers a variety of pizza products, including original crust pizza, thin crust pizza, and breakfast pizza. The company also offers a selection of sides, such as wings and cheesebread.

The brand is known for its distinctive flavor profiles, which include a blend of natural cheeses and a signature sauce. The pizzas are available in a variety of toppings, with the option for customers to "Hunt" for their favorite combination.

Business Model

The business model of Hunt Brothers Pizza is unique in the pizza industry. Instead of operating standalone pizza restaurants, the company partners with convenience stores, gas stations, and general stores. These partners are provided with all the necessary equipment, ingredients, and training to sell Hunt Brothers Pizza.

This model allows the company to reach customers in areas that traditional pizza chains may not serve, such as rural areas and small towns. It also provides an additional revenue stream for the partner stores.

Recognition

Hunt Brothers Pizza has received recognition for its business model and products. The company has been named a top pizza chain in the United States by Pizza Today magazine, and it has received awards for its pizza from the American Tasting Institute.
