INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2018 / Noble Roman's, Inc. (OTCQB: NROM), the Indianapolis based franchisor of Noble Roman's Pizza, today announced it has opened a third location of the company's new-generation, stand-alone pizzeria concept dubbed Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub. The newest location is in Fishers, Indiana on the northeast corner of 116th Street and Allisonville Road. The Fishers community is already well established but remains a progressive and rapidly-growing community northeast of Indianapolis, with strong, continuing growth in housing, retail, and industry. According to Scott Mobley, president and CEO of Noble Roman's, "We think very highly of the Fishers community, and we knew we wanted to be a part of its growth and development. We are excited to have our doors open, ready to make pizza fun here in Fishers!" According to Mobley, the new location occupies 4,200 square feet of new construction with seating for 160 and a beer and wine bar seating twelve. A back-room area provides meeting and party space for 36.
The first Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub opened on January 31, 2017 in Westfield, Indiana in the Monon Marketplace on Main Street/Highway 32 across from Grand Park. The second Craft Pizza & Pub opened November 17, 2017 on Whitestown Parkway in Whitestown, Indiana. This third location opened January 18, 2018 in Fishers, Indiana, and a fourth location is on schedule to open in the Spring of 2018. All four of these locations are company-owned and operated Craft Pizza & Pubs. Additionally, the company is in the process of ramping up its efforts to franchise the concept. As previously announced, an experienced Vice President of Development has recently been hired to focus on development with multi-unit franchise operators that have both financial capacity and operating experience. Though this effort has only recently begun, discussions with a number of potential multi-unit operators have already been initiated.
The Craft Pizza & Pub (CPP) concept has a hint of nostalgia with a modern flair and substantial new innovations. The CPP harkens back to the company's early history when it was known simply as "Pizza Pub." Like then, for fast and efficient service that is easy to staff and manage, ordering takes place at the counter and food runners deliver orders to the dining room for dine-in guests. The CPP features many exciting enhancements over the current competitive landscape, particularly when compared to the fast-casual segment from which it differs greatly. As the name implies, the restaurant features two styles of hand-crafted, made-from-scratch pizzas in individual, medium and large sizes with a selection of over forty different toppings, cheeses, and sauces from which to choose. The pizza offerings feature Noble Roman's traditional hand-crafted thinner crust as well as its signature deep-dish Sicilian crust. Beer and wine are also featured, with sixteen different beers on tap and fifteen by the bottle, including both national and local craft selections. The menu features twelve wines that are both high quality and reasonably priced, and available by the glass or the bottle.
Additional enhancements include a glass-enclosed "Dough Room" where Noble Roman's Dough Masters hand make all pizza and breadstick dough from scratch in customer view. Also in the dining room is a "Dusting & Drizzle Station" where guests can customize their pizzas after they are baked with a variety of toppings and drizzles, such as rosemary infused olive oil, honey and Italian spices. Kids and adults alike enjoy Noble Roman's self-serve craft root beer tap, which is also part of a special menu for customers 12 and younger. Throughout the dining room and the bar area are thirteen large and giant screen TV monitors for sports and the nostalgic black & white shorts featured in Noble Roman's earlier days.
