SPM #15 Building a Franchise with Michael Lamarca
Michael LaMarca of Master Pizza I am, and have always been fascinated with what it takes to grow from an individual operator and turn that into a thriving franchise. I would always ask myself.... How do they find employees? What is the process, where do you start? How do you know if your ready? What would a day be like if we owned 5 stores? Today I talked with Michael LaMarca of Master Pizza in the Cleveland Ohio area. I finally got to ask some of those questions to someone who is actually doing it, and doing it well. I hope you enjoy this episode with Michael, and I hope that you get some of your questions answered as well. What to Listen For: How did Michael get started. How did he grow is first location.
