Bonjour, Paris! Russo’s Attends Franchise Expo Paris

April 19, 2015

The Franchise Expo Paris took place during March in France’s most famous city. Known worldwide for delicious, fresh Italian fare in a casual, family-friendly environment, Russo’s New York Pizzeria and Russo’s Coal-Fired Italian Kitchen took its talents to the City of Lights to spread the Russo’s Restaurants franchising message.

Attracting a crowd of more than 37,000 franchisees, franchisors, vendors, media and visitors, the Expo Paris provides an international opportunity for all interested in franchising to come together to see the industry’s best and brightest. With a significant presence established in the U.S. and the Middle East, Russo’s stood out at the Expo as a successful collection of concepts deeply rooted in authentic, fresh Italian cuisine with a commitment to serving the community and friendly, casual service.

Russo’s brought with them their huge brick oven so that all in attendance could taste true New York-style pizza, something that is virtually unheard of in France.

“Russo’s is an ingrained part of dozens of communities here in the U.S. – people gather with friends and loved ones for a fresh, delicious Italian meal that they feel good about sharing,” said Chef Anthony Russo, CEO and founder of Russo’s Restaurants. “We loved sharing the food and franchising opportunity with our French neighbors – they can’t get enough of Russo’s already and we’re thrilled to expand our international footprint even further.”
