The Ohio-based pizza chain is plotting continued growth this year as it plans to open more than 80 new locations, surpassing last year’s total of more than 60.
It will expand into new territories while continuing its development across domestic and international markets.
Marco’s added that it plans on rolling out advanced digital tools, operational enhancement and menu innovations to strengthen franchisee support and “set the stage for sustainable, long-term operations”.
“Marco’s momentum is driven by a commitment to thoughtful expansion and strong franchisee support,” said Gerardo Flores, Chief Development Officer of Marco’s Pizza. “As we look ahead, we remain focused on building the infrastructure, technology and innovation needed to support the next phase of growth.”
The planned 2026 growth comes on the heels of a strong year for Marco’s. The chain entered New Jersey and signed a development agreement for New Mexico in 2025, expanding its national footprint into new markets. The brand also celebrated anniversaries in Mexico and Puerto Rico while continuing to explore new international opportunities and growth across the Caribbean and Latin American regions.
