OMAHA, Neb. – Convenience-store retailer Cubby’s Inc. has closed on a deal to buy a traditional Godfather’s Pizza location in Omaha, Neb.
“We are a family-owned company that truly values bringing quality food to the communities that we serve,” said De Lone Wilson, president of Cubby’s. “Godfather’s Pizza is the best pizza in the United States, and it is based right here in Omaha. This traditional restaurant fits right into our portfolio along with our 22 Godfather’s Pizza Express locations and our newest Godfather’s Pizza To Go location, also in Omaha.”
Mike Wilson, chief operating officer, added that Cubby’s is a foodservice company, not just a convenience store or grocery store company.
“We are working hard to become a restaurant that just so happens to sell fuel,” he said. “We are already one of the top Godfather’s Pizza franchisees in the United States, so why not include a traditional version of what we already do? We look forward to continuing to grow with the brands we work with, as we continue to grow our business and diversify our portfolio.”
Since Godfather’s Pizza was founded in 1973, the family-operated franchise’s mission has remained unchanged: to serve a more delicious and abundantly topped pizza. The fast-casual concept has expanded to more than 595 franchise locations in more than 40 states ranging from traditional dine-in restaurants to express outlets—in airports, c-stores and college campuses—and 905 Godfather’s Pizza To Go locations.
