Get a Piece of the Pie Pizza is as much of an American past time as baseball and apple pie. Quite possibly America's favorite food. Organic Growth The organic industry is a relatively young market to the American consumer. While the organic movement began in the first half of the 20th century, it hasn't gained in popularity until the last 20 years as concerns about agrichemicals' effect on the environment have risen. Today, global warming, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters, have opened the eyes of the world as the damage to the Earth's ecosystem has become a reality. Consequently, consumers are educating themselves on the toxins that are damaging the environment, like those used in non-organic farming practices, and realizing that they're also hurting themselves. As a result, the organic industry has consistently grown at a rate of 20% per year for the last seven years. Today, the organic industry boasts $15 billion in sales per year and experts predict continued growth. In terms of restaurants, organic food is almost non-existent. The Pizza Fusion Difference By combining the demand of the organic food sector (the fastest growing market in the food industry) with the established popularity of the pizza industry, Pizza Fusion has created a mold for a powerful entrepreneurial climate. We're looking to acquire franchisees who not only believe in our mission, but are also interested in the social and commercial benefits of owning an organic business.
