“Greg and gang, just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for everything you all have
done for Will and I. From day one you have been there answering our questions.
Even my crazy ones! You guys are the best! Your trainers were such a great help
to us." - Will and Sam Hall, Alliance, NE franchise owner
“The best parts of opening a Sam & Louie’s is the resources that you
have at your fingertips, the help with marketing. If we have questions, they
are available. I’ve e-mailed them at 10 p.m. There’s never a dumb question.
They want you to use them. The satisfaction in owning a Sam & Louie’s is
having a great product and a great restaurant with excellent service and having
happy customers.” - Boyce Voorhees, Spearfish, SD, franchise
owner
“Customers
like Sam & Louie’s because it’s a place they feel is comfortable and fun
with an upbeat atmosphere. Part of it is we are locally owned; even though we’re
a franchise we feel like a real local place. The food is different than the
other pizza places. Customers love pasta, calzones and the overall quality of
the food. We’ve got to compete differently because most of the other pizza restaurants
have lesser quality and are a lesser price. People come here because they like
our pizza better. The training was good. They bring you through and they are
here hands-on for the first couple of weeks because you just get slammed when
you are a new restaurant. They have the blueprint, the playbook, and they were
here to walk us through it.” - Mike Mosher, Carroll, IA, franchise
owner
“I thought Sam & Louie’s provided a unique product and stressing family,
food and fun worked well. Our customers definitely think Sam & Louie’s is
a superior product. We get lots of compliments about the food, the menu and
our atmosphere. The New York style separates us from everybody else. Sam &
Louie’s is a growing brand with an excellent product but still has a small,
family business feel. When I need something I can pick the phone up and get
answers. They were very supportive starting out with the set-up and initial
training. I think corporate has worked hard to be proactive to expand the menu
to meet consumer needs. Sam and Louie’s was on the property assisting in operations,
helping to train staff and setting up the building and kitchen to maximize efficiency.
The Operations Manual is the kitchen bible - it’s all very good." -
Jeremy Jackson, Rapid City, SD, franchise owner
