Overview
Grab a Piece of the Pie!
In 2004, two business associates, Bill Bustard and Mike Dolnick, developed the idea of an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet and began to work on business models and possible locations. In early 2005, they partnered with Ken Kovalik, who worked previously as a management and business consultant, to create Friends and Family Pizza Buffet, LLC, organized in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In October 2005, the partners opened their first restaurant in Bristol, PA. Based on the successes of this initial restaurant, and the overwhelming public support of the concept in this region, in March 2006 the founders created Friends & Family Enterprises, LLC along with other financial partners, for the purpose of selling pizza buffet franchises
As of January 2007, Friends & Family Enterprises, LLC is now actively seeking to place new Friends & Family Pizza Buffet franchises throughout the Northeast. This now provides qualified applicants an opportunity to operate and own an eat-in pizza buffet restaurant franchise. As a future franchisee, you would be part of a growing organization dedicated to developing this new and innovative restaurant concept throughout the northeastern US market.

Why Friends & Family Pizza Buffet?
We strongly believe in the long-term success of this business model
based on our own successful experience along with the success of
similar pizza buffet models in other parts of the country by other
franchisors who are not focused on the northeast market for expansion.
We believe that we have a very good model targeted for an untapped
market here in the northeast. We are moving to this franchising step
expeditiously because we believe the window of business opportunity for
this model is currently wide open.
