Franchise: Intro

The Rock Wood Fired Pizza & Spirits is a family focused, full service casual dining concept. Though focusing on gourmet wood fired pizza, The Rock offers an array of pastas, burgers, sandwiches and salads. Add unique microbrews and cocktails to the list and you truly have something for everyone.

Opened in 1995 as a gritty, local pizza joint in Tacoma, The Rock’s gourmet pies and unique atmosphere quickly gained recognition. Nearly 15 years on, nine locations have been added to the original throughout Washington.

The Rock’s continued success has earned the company recognition as America’s Number One Independently Owned Pizza Chain by Pizza Today Magazine.

The Rock is continuing to grow and is looking to open stores in all areas of North America. Two ownership groups currently run Rock locations in Washington State and are experiencing the same success with plans to continue growth of their own.

Recently, The Rock has gone international!

Great Times Pizza opened their first location in Red Deer, Alberta Canada in May of this year. Kaizen Brands, the franchisor of The Rock in Canada has plans to develop 40 stores before 2020 and is looking for future developers. Please email us if you are interested and we will put you in contact with our Canadian franchise partner.

There are opportunities to grow throughout the United States and Canada and we are excited to welcome new franchisees to The Rock’s family! Currently, we are only granting multi-unit development plans (3+ store minimum). To apply, click on the “Now What” tab.
