BRANDON & JENNIFER PRATT NAMED PIZZA RANCH “FRANCHISEE OF THE YEAR”
June 30, 2021
Pizza Ranch Inc. awarded its Franchisee of the Year Award to Brandon & Jennifer Pratt at the 2021 Awards Banquet held in Sioux Falls, SD on June 15th.
The Pratt’s began their franchise journey with Pizza Ranch in 2006 with the opening of the Iowa City, IA restaurant, followed by the opening or re-opening of 6 other locations: Cedar Rapids, IA (2013), Springfield, IL (2015), Newton, IA (2016), Galesburg, IL (2016), North Liberty, IA (2019), and Marion, IA (2020).
2020 was marked by hardship, leaving nearly all restaurant owners struggling to survive. Along with being dealt a difficult hand due to the pandemic, our Eastern Iowa franchise operators were struck by a devasting storm during the summer. The Pratt’s had several locations damaged by the storm, but it did not deter their growth, their commitment to serve, or their passion for the Pizza Ranch brand. They overcame adversity, grew their business, gave insightful leadership as part of the Pizza Ranch Franchisee Advisory Council, created best in class marketing, and ultimately made a positive impact on the communities they serve.
