Q: Why should I buy a franchise?

A: Investing in a franchise is a great way to diversify your income for years to come. It's just like owning your own business, without all the risks and unknowns of a start-up. We took the risk on our gut feeling that sourdough pizza was the next big thing and have proven our concept week after week, and month after month nearly five years later. 

Here's the thing. Not all franchises are created equally. In the food industry you may be star-struck by high dollar AUVs, but those numbers come with a hefty price tag. Not only are sit-down restaurants expensive to invest in, but the time spent on building your team of managers, assistant managers, waiters, cooks & hostesses and dealing with the stress of high turnover can seem overwhelming. It's an enormous investment in the thing most valuable - your time. Considering a concept that involves the least amount of moving parts may be beneficial to you. 

Our concept is simple and streamlined for maximum efficiency and a smaller workforce. Our state-of-the-art equipment and technology easily takes the place of extra workers (hint: saving you $). The Stoney's Sourdough Pizza Co. menu has been complied with workflow efficiency in mind, making the job as streamlined as possible for our employees. We've got our operations down to a science.



Q: How much work is involved?

A: The great thing about owning a franchise is that the more you work, the more you can make. You may choose to build an awesome team and let your restaurant run on autopilot. You have the freedom to choose how you spend your time between work, family and leisure while earning passive income. You may also choose to manage your own store and be heavily involved in the day-to-day operations in which you would also be earning a manager salary on top of any passive income generated. Unlike most jobs, you have the choice to decide if and when you want to work.


Q: I don't have lots of extra money sitting around to buy a franchise. How could I fund this?

A: No cash? No problem. Stoney's Sourdough Pizza Co. is listed in the SBA Franchise Directory - meaning it is possible to get a small business loan to finance your franchise over a long term at a low interest rate. Ask us today about which financing option could best suit your needs. 


Q: Why Sourdough Pizza?

A: Here's a crazy fact: "Sourdough" was the #1 searched recipe on all of Google in 2020. That's a ton of searches! The sourdough "culture" has been growing rapidly over the past decade. And it's for good reason: consumers are becoming much more in tune with the ingredients they are consuming. Sourdough is not only know for it's wonderful tangy flavor, but is also well known for the health benefits it brings to the table. For starters, real sourdough is only 3 ingredients: flour, water and salt. The fermentation process takes the place of adding yeast and sugar while still creating those fluffy air bubbles that make for a darn-good pizza crust. A simple crust without yeast, sugar, oil, preservatives or dough conditioners has health-conscious foodies grabbing their keys and wallet and heading to the nearest sourdough pizzeria. 

Lowered blood sugar spikes, lowered bloating and reduced gluten content are among the other health benefits associated with sourdough. For all the details on why sourdough pizza is superior to the rest, click here.
