Happy's Pizza: Selecting a Franchise

 
 
Company History
 
Happy’s Pizza was established, when our founder, noticed the lack of solid dining options on Detroit’s North East side. The first store, which opened its doors in 1996, offered diners an extensive menu featuring ribs, chicken, hand battered shrimp, pasta, salads and subs, as well as the namesake, Happy’s Pizza. Due to its popularity, Happy’s Pizza quickly became a household name in Michigan and they didn’t stop there. Happy’s Pizza currently has over 100 stores open in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada & California, and 20 stores under construction in those and other states. Each new store is a work of art and includes Happy’s iconic build out including Granite Countertops, Neon Lights, Ceramic Tiling and Venetian Plaster.
 
In addition to their growth focused ideals, exceptional support and training, Happy’s Pizza is proud to be a philanthropic sponsor of many local community activities. These include an annual “Coats for Kids”, and local bicycle program giveaway, as well as sponsoring the local community by offering frees pizza parties to a number of non-profit organizations.
 
Named to Restaurant Magazine’s Top 50 Franchises in 2010, Happy’s Pizza is on the rise and continues to proudly be “Delivering more than just great pizza”.
