Pizza Patrón enters San Antonio market

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Pizza Patrón Inc., signed its first out-of territory franchise agreement in San Antonio, Texas. The new store, owned by Charles Loflin, will be built adjacent to one of his new Wingstop restaurants.

"I am real excited about opening my first Pizza Patrón. The concept's strong focus on serving Hispanic communities provides great opportunity in San Antonio, a city with a large Latino population," says Loflin.

Loflin currently owns five Wingstops and has three more under contract. He opened the first out-of-territory Wingstop and will also open the first out-of-territory Pizza Patrón, both concepts the brainchild of Antonio Swad.

"Antonio Swad's relentless pursuit of excellence and the concept's economy-proof operation system give me great confidence that Pizza Patrón will be successful in San Antonio," says Charles.

Pizza Patrón Inc., founded in 1986, is leading the industry in serving the Latino pizza segment. The restaurant features festive and fun carryout-only pizza stores that are community based in Spanish-speaking or predominately Hispanic neighborhoods. Pizza Patrón offers great pizza at an incredible value to its customer.
