Flash Market Adds Fourth Pizza Inn

Retailer plans to open additional sites in coming months
SARALAND, Ala. -- Flash Market Convenience stores has opened a new Pizza Inn delivery/carryout location in Saraland, Ala. It marks the fourth location for multi-unit franchise owner Flash Market. As part of a large travel center, the Saraland Pizza Inn is offering customers delivery and carryout service from a full menu, including large-sized pizzas made with fresh dough.

"Pizza Inn allows us to offer more than the personal pan pizza people think of at a local convenience store," said Keith Brown of Flash Market. "Whether you need something delivered quickly, you want to [image-nocss] pick up dinner on the way home or you're traveling through town on the busy Interstate, we are presenting a delicious experience in our travel center with Pizza Inn's fresh ingredients and great prices."

With the Saraland opening, Flash Market now operates Pizza Inn locations in Tennessee, Arkansas and Alabama, and the company plans to open additional sites in the coming months.
Flash Market stores also feature Subway, Quiznos franchise, Baskin Robbins and Dairy Queen franchises in their convenience stores and travel plazas.

"This is a tremendous opportunity to introduce Pizza Inn to new customers in Saraland as well as busy travelers who want exceptional food," said Charlie Morrison, CEO of Pizza Inn. "Flash Market has a long history of success with high-profile franchise brands, and we are excited to be part of that success."
