Buscemi’s present competition comes from single unit operators of party stores. Consequently, as the only party store chain of any real size in Michigan, Buscemi’s has for years enjoyed a good measure of leadership in the Southeastern Michigan marketplace.
Management believes the superior food products and services offered in the Buscemi’s Party Shoppes, if coupled with greater marketing and advertising, could place the Company in a truly dominant position in Michigan. If rapid growth can be attained in the Michigan market area, Buscemi’s may eventually consider expansion into the national market for party and convenience stores.
Growth in Michigan will be through the conversion of existing party and liquor stores in southeastern Michigan, which hold state liquor, beer and wine licenses, and lottery licenses. New licenses are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, so the purchase of an existing license is a much surer method. These stores will then be converted by remodeling with a new Buscemi’s decor package, signage and menu. The Submarine sandwiches. Such stores can be converted to the Buscemi’s concept and reopened in as little as 60-90 days.
The initial focus for selling new franchises will be accomplished through store conversions and offering reduced franchise fees and royalty payments to persons who convert their stores to Buscemi’s Party Shoppes.
MidiCi The Neapolitan Pizza Company is a fast-fine pizza franchise that brings friends together. We opened our first restaurant to great fanfare in Los Angeles in 2015; we plan to open 50 by the end of 2017, and we aim to open 1,000 locations within 20 years. Why are we confident? Because people love pizza, they love personalization, and they love quality. But even more than that, they love spending time with one another.
MidiCi, pronounced Mee-Dee-Chee means "You Tell Me" in Italian. We offer fully personalized pizzas baked-to-order in a traditional wood-fired brick oven made from the stones of Naples. Staying true to its Neapolitan roots, the pizza dough is created with only four fine ingredients - double zero and Neapolitan flour, sea salt, pure water and yeast. Garnishes are derived from authentic crushed GMO-free Neapolitan tomatoes, "white gold” mozzarella di buffala and Italian cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. MidiCi also serves hand-tossed salads, small bites, desserts including Nutella® pizza, coffee, beer and wine.
