John Brenneman, a former member of the U.S. Marine Corps, credits his military training with the success of his five Hungry Howie’s pizza franchises. After leaving the military, John chose to follow Hungry Howie’s “proven operating model” and recommends that other veterans do the same.

Hungry Howie’s, a restaurant franchise known for its flavored pizza crust, has been delivering quality pizza for 40 years. The franchise is consistently finds itself listed as one of the top ten largest pizza franchises in the nation and has won several awards:

• Military Friendly Franchise by G.I. Jobs Magazine, May 2012
• #3 Best Pizza Franchise by Entrepreneur magazine’s Top 500 Franchise edition, January 2012
• Chain of the Year by Pizza Today magazine in 2004

Most Hungry Howie’s franchisees cite the pizza franchise’s “crustomizable” flavored pizza crust (which comes in eight different flavors) and personable staff as the main reasons why customers return to Hungry Howie’s.

As a member of VetFran, Hungry Howie’s offers qualified veterans a 50 percent discount on the initial franchise fee. All franchisees are provided ongoing support and training, extending a helping hand in real estate transactions, store construction, operations, distribution, finance and marketing.
