## Story

Toppers Pizza currently has 18 locations in Minnesota and is set on growing that number; the brand plans to add two more restaurants within the year in the Prior Lake-Savage area and the west Bloomington market.

Toppers Pizza was founded in Whitewater, Wisconsin by Scott Gittrich after he worked for Domino's Pizza for five years and decided to create a concept of his own that offered much more variety, delivered fast and offered quality ingredients. In terms of development, the brand is actively looking for franchise partners and real estate in the two markets.

“We’re looking for areas that are available and underserved,” Cairns told the Shakopee Valley News of Toppers expansion plans in the southwest suburbs.
