www.apachepizza.co.uk Established: 1996 Outlets in UK: 12 Areas available: All of Scotland Startup costs: £80k-£200k
Apache Pizza was launched in Dublin in 1996. We wanted a strong name that would refl ect the fact that our pizzas are an original American style, as opposed to the original Italian-style pizzas, which have a different dough base. We have grown rapidly over the last few years and have 160 stores nationwide in Ireland and are now looking to expand into Scotland. In 2016, we opened our fi rst store in Northern Ireland in Portadown. We currently have 12 stores in Northern Ireland and aim to continue this growth in the coming years. We feel the primary reason for our rapid expansion is due to the fact that we remain very focused on our franchisees.
