“ The frozen pizza industry in the US is worth around $ 6 billion, which is exciting for us. There’ s so much opportunity for us to get into food service, not just with our pizzas but with these amazing new bread products. We know that labor is still a challenge in the world of food service and it’ s getting harder to find people to make these high-quality items at scale, so we’ re aiming to be as solution-based as we can,” he affirms.“ The industry is rapidly changing, and prices are getting higher, but if we can continue to produce exceptional, high-quality food items, I think it’ ll accelerate our growth. What’ s even more exciting is that we’ re currently only using half of our new facility, leaving the other half open to create whatever we want.”
“ Over the next 12 months, we’ re going to be looking at what is new and exciting, and how we can position ourselves to do whatever that is at scale and provide value to our customers and consumers,” Nick concludes. ■
