Overview
Since we opened our first store inside the WAL*MART Super Center in Hannibal, Missouri, we have perfected our concept - taking full advantage of being located inside America's largest retail chain. This partnership has proven to be such a success So much in fact that the company was able to open 9 additional stores before our first year anniversary. We originally intended Papa Bello to function as a corporately owned and operated chain, but the demand for our pizza outlets and the immediate availability of WAL*MART locations necessitated the franchising of the brand. This growth potential offered to us by WAL*MART combined with a premiere product allows for a unique and profitable opportunity for our franchisees.
