OWNING YOUR OWN SOURDOUGH PIZZA BUSINESS:

New to the pizza industry? That's OK! Luckily we've seen it all AND we've done it all. We're here with you every step of the way to help you bring to life your very own sourdough pizzeria that you, your family & your community will love.
We're ready when you are!

Simple is better, all the way around. That's why we've made the steps to owning your very own Stoney's Sourdough Pizza Co. as simple and streamlined as possible.

1

SUBMIT INITIAL APPLICATION.

Get started by clicking here to fill out our initial application. It's just a few questions about where you're at geographically and financially.

2

INITIAL PHONE CALL.

Think of this as a meet and greet. We'll get to know you a little better and you will get to know us a little better. This is a great time for any of your questions to be answered about our franchise model.

3

REVIEW THE FDD.

We will send you a copy of our Franchise Disclosure Document for you to review. This is a document that details the relationship between the Franchisor (Us) and the Franchisee (You). It outlines the standards and expectations of the brand and any other information we are legally required to include. If you have any questions during this part, don't worry and just give us a call!

DISCOVERY DAY.

Like what you see in the FDD? Awesome! We will invite you to join us at our corporate headquarters in Kokomo, IN for a day of discovering all there is to know about Stoney's Sourdough Pizza Co. You will get to meet the founders in-person to really connect on a personal level. You'll get a tour of our operation and see our concept in action in real time. Maybe you'll want to jump behind the prep table and make throw some dough or see how effortless our granite stone conveyor oven works. We've got all day dedicated to giving you a one-of-a-kind sourdough pizza tour.

GRADUATE FROM STONEY'S SOURDOUGH UNIVERSITY.

READY, SET, GO -
IT'S GRAND OPENING TIME!

We'll help you choose a spot that's right for your business. It's gotta have the right amount of traffic, good visibility and great proximity to residential areas and business areas alike.

We'll get a game plan together for your floor plan, materials, equipment & artwork. Luckily we know exactly how things should be set up for maximum efficiency and reduced labor.

You'll learn from the pros during your time at Stoney's Sourdough University. This initial training program sets you and your managers up for success and gives you all the tools you need to run your restaurant. We'll cover everything including pizza making, Sourdough 101, procedures, prep, hiring & interviewing and so much more!

It's the moment you've been waiting for! After a soft opening (or two!) you will be well-equipped with all the tools and knowledge you need to lead your sourdough pizza family down a long and prosperous path for generations to come. During your first week open, we'll send on-site corporate support to help get the swing of things during this exciting time!
