TL;DR
Your Pie is expanding into Louisiana with a new location in Baton Rouge, marking the brand's first foray into the state. The location will be owned by Ricky Reaves, a veteran franchiser from Houma.
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.”
