US-based quick-service franchise Stoner's Pizza Joint has broadened its network with four additional outlets, including its first restaurants in Kansas and Tennessee.

With these stores, the franchise now operates more than 60 locations in the US, including Colorado, Texas and across the Southeast.

The company has also introduced a redesigned website and mobile app.

Stoner's Pizza Joint CEO John Stetson said: “Our ability to continue expanding in today's environment reflects the strength of our operating model and the demand we're seeing from both customers and franchise partners.

“Expanding into Kansas and Tennessee is an important milestone as we continue building a national footprint in high-potential markets.”

According to Stoner’s Pizza Joint, the refreshed digital channels are intended to provide a more efficient ordering experience, with an updated design and enhanced features for users.

Stoner’s Pizza Joint recently signed a ten-unit development deal in the Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) area with an existing multi-unit franchise partner.

Under that agreement, several new outlets are expected to open in what the company describes as “key trade areas” across the DFW metro area over the next few years.

The company added that the region is an ideal market for the brand’s continued growth, due to its rapid population gains, a diverse economy, and strong demand for convenient dining options.

The chain operates restaurants for dine-in and takeaway, as well as arena venues. It is also listed on major third-party delivery apps, which the company says helps franchisees extend their customer reach.
