“Most people don’t know we are a 70 year old brand.” This year, Sbarro is celebrating 70 years, and the brand continues to have incredible momentum. In his recent conversation with Sam Oches of Nation's Restaurant News’s Restaurant News, Sbarro CEO David Karam shared his journey in the restaurant industry, his path to Sbarro, and the strategy behind the brand’s continued growth and resurgence. Under David’s leadership, Sbarro has evolved into “one of the fastest growing QSR pizza chains over the past five years,” with a presence across 28 countries and, as David shared, “great franchise partners domestically and across the globe.” Seven decades after our story began in Brooklyn, Sbarro continues to grow across traditional and non-traditional locations and in markets around the world, while staying true to the heritage and experience that have made the brand iconic. David’s story, and Sbarro’s story, are a testament to the power of strong leadership, great people, great franchise partners, and a continued focus on growth. We are proud to celebrate 70 years of Sbarro and even more excited about what is ahead. Thank you to David Karam, Sam Oches, and Nation's Restaurant News’s Restaurant News for a great conversation and for sharing the story behind Sbarro’s growth.

70 years strong, and the biggest growth opportunities are still ahead. Sbarro continues to build momentum around the world, with more than 850 restaurants today and continued expansion across the United States and international markets. In a new interview with PMQ Pizza Magazine, our CEO David Karam discusses the strategy behind that growth, from sharpening our focus on the Original XL New York Pizza by the Slice to expanding the Sbarro brand into new venues and markets around the world. As David shared, “This will be our fifth year in a row with 100 new store openings.” Today, Sbarro is growing across convenience stores, travel centers, airports, colleges, casinos, military bases, malls, train stations, and international markets, creating more opportunities for guests and franchise partners around the world. Looking ahead, David shared, “We’re in the very, very early innings of the growth that the brand has in front of it.” He also spoke to the foundation behind that growth, saying, “If you build a business and brand on the back of good food and excellent operational execution, then you’re going to have a brand that grows and builds brand equity.” With 70 years of brand recognition, a flexible restaurant model, continued franchise development, and a clear growth strategy, we are confident in the future of Sbarro and excited about what comes next. Thank you, to PMQ Pizza, Arrowfly, and tracy morin for taking a closer look at the strategy, momentum, and people driving Sbarro forward.
