## Story

Franchise owner, Brent Swadley, grew up going to Mr Gatti's Pizza and has cherished the brand since childhood, believing in its longstanding legacy and emphasis on high-quality ingredients.

"Growing up in Texas, Mr Gatti’s Pizza was more than just food; it was an essential part of our family memories. Since I moved to Oklahoma City, I've always felt the city was underserviced when it comes to pizza options. Introducing Mr Gatti's to this community is more than just a dream come true, it's a tribute to my roots,” Swadley said.

Earlier in the year, Swadley solidified a 17-unit franchise agreement with Mr Gatti’s, with the Oklahoma City location being the first of many to come. Swadley brings strong business acumen to his new role as Mr Gatti’s franchise owner, as he is also the founder and president of Swadley BBQ.

“Brent is exactly the type of person we look for to lead a Mr Gatti’s Pizza franchise,” said Travis Smith, Vice President of Marketing at Mr Gatti's Pizza. “He is passionate about the community, the brand and providing exceptional service in a food-first, family-centric atmosphere.”
