The new restaurant is located on a Caribbean island and is operated by franchisee Eldon Hyde of Sun Restaurant Group. *By Eddy Goldberg, originally published in Franchising.com on 2018-12-25.

Its newest foreign location, and its third in Honduras with franchisee Eldon Hyde of Sun Restaurant Group, opened in November. The new restaurant is located on a gorgeous Caribbean island north of mainland Honduras and southeast of Mexico's "Mayan Riviera." "My first two Pizza Inn locations in Roatán have experienced great success, so we are excited to open a third on the island," said Hyde. "We've hired a great team and we are all looking forward to serving freshly made pizzas to the community." The new restaurant is Pizza Inn's 52nd international location. According to the company's website, it has restaurants in 9 countries, with a strong presence in the Middle East. The company plans to open new locations in additional countries, including China and other parts of the Asia/Pacific region. Pizza Inn, part of Rave Restaurant Group (which also franchises Pie Five Pizza), operates more than 200 restaurants domestically and internationally. Founded in 1958 and franchising since 1961, the company has been inducted into the Pizza Hall of Fame by PMQ Pizza magazine. - Get Started in Franchising - Franchise Rankings & Awards - Franchise Sales & Development - Featured Franchise Stories Franchising.com is produced by Franchise Update Media.
