By GlobalDataThe Miami restaurant will be the brand’s sixth corporate-owned outlet, the third in Florida, and the 13th nationwide.
The company expanded to South Florida with a franchised outlet in Tequesta in 2022.
The Miami flagship is expected to drive further expansion in the state, with additional corporate and franchised openings anticipated.
Riko’s Pizza chief operations officer and president Carl Bachmann stated: “When I joined the company earlier this year, part of my strategy was to refocus our expansion on a more equal balance between corporate and franchised locations, with key growth markets like South Florida being spearheaded by corporate to ensure proper introduction of the brand and our strict standards for quality and operational excellence.”
Riko’s Pizza will also open a new full-service restaurant and bar at Carolina Beach, North Carolina in the autumn of 2025.
