Russo's Targets 50+ Additional Texas Restaurants With Multi-Unit Franchise Fee Incentive

HOUSTON - EntSun -- Russo's New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen is targeting more than 50 additional restaurants across Texas and inviting qualified multi-unit operators to discuss development opportunities. The target is a growth goal, not a count of signed agreements, approved sites or scheduled openings.

The Texas incentive reduces each qualifying initial franchise fee by 50%, from $35,000 to $17,500. Approved applicants signing a qualifying development agreement for at least three Texas restaurants by December 31, 2026 can save $52,500 on the initial franchise fees for three locations.

Texas markets for development discussions include Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Houston, Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Pearland, League City, Conroe, Austin, San Antonio, McAllen, Corpus Christi, El Paso and Lubbock. All markets and sites remain subject to availability and approval.
