Lebron James’ Fast-Casual Chain Blaze Pizza Has Plans for a Massive DFW Expansion - Eater Dallas
"Lebron James-backed pizzeria chain Blaze Pizza is set to saturate the DFW market by opening 20 new pizza outposts over the next several years. The chain, which already operates four locally in Frisco, Arlington, Fort Worth and The Colony, is pushing to operate 1,000 restaurants in at least six countries, up from its current count of nearly 300 in five countries with the goal of becoming a billion-dollar company by 2022. In addition to James, several other star-powered investors are involved in the brand including Maria Shriver and Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner." - Alaena Hostetter
