## Story

Mark Cairns informed the St. Louis Business Journal that Toppers Pizza is engaged in talks with potential franchisees that will bring the first restaurant to St. Louis in the second-half of 2016.

According to Mark, the franchisees they're in talks with will likely sign multi-unit deals to allow room for growth in the region.

The company is growing quickly; after opening seven new stores in 2015, Cairns said Toppers plans to more than double that number this year.
