History
Mountain Mike's opened its first location in Palo Alto, California, in 1978. Since then, the company has expanded to include over 180 locations throughout California, as well as Nevada, Utah and Oregon. The restaurant franchise initially opened as a family friendly, casual dining experience that prioritized fresh, high-quality ingredients. The original owner left another pizza restaurant to found his own business that emphasized quality and embodied his connection with nature.
Forty years later, the company has stayed true to its origins, combining its pizza and sandwich offerings with substantial salad bar offerings, and including a variety of fresh toppings. The company especially prides itself on the use of authentic pepperoni slices for its pizzas. It also emphasizes the ability of each patron to customize an order.
Ideal Candidate
Mountain Mike's Pizza charges an initial franchising fee of $30,000; franchisees with an existing location pay $15,000 to open an additional location. Investment amounts can vary substantially, depending on factors such as locale, type of site and necessary work and purchases. Potential franchisees are not required to have prior experience, but must be willing and able to learn quickly and comply with company training and instructions. In addition to providing the required product, franchisees should also be prepared to participate in community initiatives and build strong relationships with customers as well as local business and organizations.
