All of our franchise owners are essential members of our overall Aurelio's Is Pizza "family". Together we strive for the consistency that brings patrons back to enjoy what Joe Aurelio started back in 1959... quality, quantity, value and more. Joe Aurelio's commitment to his customers' satisfaction has proven to be the catalyst for our growth and success. Finding individuals who are motivated and interested in continuing our strong traditions and values is not a simple task. By staying focused and committed to our mission of providing the very best service and quality, we plan to continue to expand our franchise members. We are currently seeking franchisees for development opportunities in Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, Colorado and Florida. However, we are continually assessing expansion opportunities into new markets.
