Gumby's Pizza has built its business on a strong foundation of excellent quality products, superb customer service and great value. Like a builder who works hard to make sure each foundation of a building is perfect because he wants the building to last, Gumby's Pizza works hard on the foundation building blocks of its business. Quality is the first building block in the Gumby's foundation for success. We use only the finest, freshest meats and vegetables possible while making our pizza dough from scratch every day. An equally important second building block - superb customer service, is reflected in our philosophy: "don't just satisfy the customer - impress them!" Our store personnel dedicate themselves to making each order fast and right. The mortar in our business is our value-based pricing, which keeps our customers coming back, time and time again.
Quality products, superb service and great value; that's Gumby's Pizza!
Currently Gumby's Pizza locations are in operation in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, and are rapidly expanding into other areas. To help ensure their success, Gumby's Pizza franchisees are well trained and supported by our Franchise Department. We have refined the Gumby's Pizza system of store operations to make sure no detail is overlooked. In addition to store operations, franchisees are trained in each aspect of operating their business, including marketing, advertising and administration. Gumby's Pizza franchisees are in business for themselves, but not by themselves.
