Telepizza opens first outlet in Iran

Madrid-based pizza delivery company Telepizza has opened its first store in Iran. The store is located on Teheran’s Marzdaran Boulevard; two more stores are scheduled to open by the end of the month. This follows the signing of a master franchise agreement signed with Momenin Investment Group last year.

Telepizza, which already operates 1,421 stores globally, is the first non-U.S. QSR to open in Iran.

Pablo Juantegui, chairman and CEO of Telepizza Group, said, “We are very proud of the inauguration of our two first Iranian stores. It is a great responsibility to become the first QSR chain in the country, At Telepizza, we are delighted to share with Iranian consumers the essence of our brand, bringing them the unique flavor of our pizzas, at any moment and place.”

Telepizza International President, Giorgio Minardi, added: “The launch of our first Iranian outlet marks an exciting step in our international expansion, which continues to gain momentum. Iran looks set to become a hugely important market for us, with significant room for growth. We know our innovative flavors and commitment to use only quality local Iranian ingredients, coupled with our outstanding customer service and great value will appeal to Iranian consumers”
