## Story

DALLAS, Aug. 17, 2021 // PRNewswire // - Pizza Inn announced today it has executed an international development agreement with Principal Master Licensee Mr. Walid Haider, Chairman of Azalea Investment LLC in Dubai, UAE. Five Pizza Inn stores will open in Qatar, with the first store projected to open in the city of Doha in March of 2022. Mr. Walid signed the agreement to bring five Pizza Inn stores to Qatar, with the option to open additional new stores.

"RAVE is excited for Mr. Walid to help expand Pizza Inn's presence in the Middle East. Once these five new stores open, Pizza Inn will have 37 international locations across the globe," says RAVE Restaurant Group's (NASDAQ: RAVE) President and CEO, Brandon Solano. "Mr. Walid's standard of excellence and commitment to Pizza Inn will set up these new locations in Qatar for great success."

"I look forward to bringing this iconic pizza brand to Qatar," says Mr. Walid. "Pizza Inn's house-made dough and fresh, quality ingredients will be a favorite destination for people living in these communities. I am thrilled by this opportunity to establish and grow Pizza Inn in this region."

Pizza Inn is known for its fresh, house-made pizza dough, high-quality ingredients, and exceptional service. The brand's original pizzas blend everyone's favorite ingredients to create craveable flavor combinations. Unlike its competitors, Pizza Inn's house-made pizza dough is made from scratch every morning in every store and is never frozen or made in a factory.
