I've been traveling and tried that pizza....

Most, if not all gas station pizza is horrible

The gas station pizza????
That's crazy.

I just read about a company making $174M a year selling gas station pizza. And they have zero competition.

• It's called Hunt Brothers Pizza
• They have 9,703 locations
• You'll find them in rural towns across the USA

Here's exactly how they do it.

1/ Start with the right partner

Hunt Brothers is a franchise model. They partner with others to open and run locations. And they're very specific with who they pick.

To be a franchisee, you need to have a gas station or a convenience store. Plus you'll need 59 square feet of free space.

If you check those boxes, you're in.

2/ An offer they can't refuse

To get a franchise partner on board, Hunt Brothers makes a simple offer:

Pay us $10,000 and we'll give you a money printing machine. Kind of. It's actually just a pizza oven.

That start-up fee gets you equipment, signage, and training. Can't scrounge up $10,000? No sweat. Hunt Brothers will lend you the money. Just pay it back as you go.

Don't worry. This won't take long.

3/ Pizza party

Now let's get to the good part.

This pizza stand is easy to operate. Put the pre-made dough into the oven and wait 6 minutes. Then you can sell fresh pizza. Served in signature “hunks”.

And you better keep that oven hot. Because customers are lining up.

A typical gas station sells $5,000 worth of pizza each month. At a juicy profit.

Subtract the cost of ingredients and utilities. You're looking at a 40% profit margin. That's $2,000 cash money.

Not bad for 59 square feet.

4/ Little competition

Remember when I said they have zero competition? I didn't mean there aren't other pizza joints. Of course there are.

But Hunt Brothers specifically picks locations in remote areas. Think rural communities and small towns.

In fact, it's usually the only thing resembling a restaurant for miles at a time.

5/ Big pizza money

Now let's talk about how the Big Brothers make money.

The parent company doesn't make much from the upfront fee. They don't get a royalty. And there's no cut of sales.

Hunt Brothers just charges for ingredients and packaging. It runs $1,500 - $2,000 per location each month.

With 9,703 locations, that's about $14.5M per month.

And that's how you make $174M a year selling gas station pizza.

What toppings do you get when it’s unlimited ?

All the meats except anchovies. Olives, pineapple, it’s garlic. Extra sauce. Regular crust. It’s good until 8/3 I read.

I’ll have to take advantage of that deal for a cheat meal for sure, thanks for the mention.
