## Story

After opening successful locations in South Dakota two years ago, Toppers Pizza is looking to expand in North Dakota, specifically Grand Forks.

"We're kind of a hip, young pizza place," David Biederman, Chief Development Officer at Toppers Pizza , told Grand Forks Herald. "We do seem to strike a note with younger people."

While there are no set plans for any locations in Grand Forks, Toppers Pizza thinks this location will do well with the many college students in town.
