## Story

Papa Murphy's take 'n' bake pizza chain is looking to bring their pies to Northeast Mississippi, and is searching for franchisees in the area to help them.

“We’ve got got a pretty good presence in Memphis and Huntsville, and we’ve got a bunch of stores in Nashville, so we kind of surround you guys,” said Papa Murphy's Vice President of Franchise Sales Gary Payne. “We feel like that’s the next area for growth as we’ve built our brand in these other DMAs. We feel like there are opportunities there, so we’ve designated three stores there – one in Tupelo, one in Columbus and one in Starkville. I’d say within two years that’ll happen. We’re just looking for some franchise partners.”

The untapped market has been on the brand's radar for years, but now they are even offering financial incentives to potential franchisees looking to sign deals in the Tupelo, Houston and Columbus area's.
