# Greater Baton Rouge Business Report: Your Pie to Open First Louisiana Restaurant in Baton Rouge

**TL;DR:** Your Pie is opening its first Louisiana location in Baton Rouge, with franchisee Ricky Reaves planning to open up to three restaurants in the next two years. Reaves, a veteran franchiser, chose Your Pie for its traditional Italian preparation technique and high-quality product.

## Story

Atlanta-based brick oven pizza concept, Your Pie is aiming to open the first Louisiana location in Baton Rouge. Houma resident, veteran franchiser and new Your Pie franchisee, Ricky Reevas is gearing up to open as many as three Your Pie restaurants within the next two years.

Reaves family has been in the franchising industry for nearly 20 years but never expanded their presence into Baton Rouge.

“I’ve never had the right concept to go in (to Baton Rouge), but I think this is the right one,” Reaves says.

Your Pie offers a more traditional preparation technique for their guests by sticking to its Italian roots, and with a product so good, it's worthy of buying a franchise.

“I went in blind not knowing if I would even like the product,” he says. “I’m not going to open something if I don’t enjoy the product.”
