Founded in DuBois, Pennsylvania in 1994, Buck’s Pizza began with a simple mission: to serve families fresh and delicious food they can enjoy together. The brand operates under Buck’s Pizza Franchising Corporation, Inc. and is headquartered in DuBois, Pennsylvania.

With its strong business model and commitment to quality, Buck’s Pizza began franchising shortly after its founding, allowing entrepreneurs across the country to bring its popular recipes to their local communities.

Buck’s Pizza specializes in handcrafted pizzas made from fresh dough and premium ingredients. The menu also includes pasta, wings, salads, sandwiches, and desserts, catering to a wide range of customer tastes.

Its restaurants operate in flexible formats that include dine-in, curbside pickup, delivery, and drive-thru options, making it adaptable to various markets and customer needs.

Training

Buck’s Pizza Franchising Corporation offers a structured and supportive training program to ensure that franchisees are prepared for both the opening and operation of their restaurant. Here’s a breakdown of the training and assistance provided:

1. Initial Training Program
   Before or within six months of opening the business, Buck’s Pizza provides a mandatory initial training program. This training covers the operational aspects of running the restaurant, including systems, procedures, and standards. It is intended to equip the franchisee with the foundational knowledge required for successful operations.
2. On-the-Job Training and Opening Support
   During the setup and launch phase, Buck’s Pizza provides on-the-job training and opening support at the franchise location. A representative from Buck’s will assist with the opening, ensuring proper implementation of operational standards. This support is provided for a duration deemed necessary by the franchisor.
3. Ongoing Training Opportunities
   Franchisees also have access to additional training programs offered by Buck’s Pizza. Although not scheduled on a regular basis or mandatory, these sessions are available at times and locations determined by the franchisor. Participation in these programs is optional but beneficial for staying updated on best practices.

Territory Protection

Buck’s Pizza Franchising Corporation offers its franchisees an exclusive territory as part of the franchise agreement. This territory is defined based on multiple factors including geography, population density, political boundaries, and the logistical ability to deliver orders efficiently.

Although the franchisor does not specify a minimum territory size, the territory is designed to give the franchisee a clear operating area for business.

The franchisee operates from a single location within the designated territory, and the site must be approved by Buck’s Pizza. Relocation of the restaurant within the territory is also subject to franchisor approval, ensuring consistent oversight.
