MOD Pizza Opens First Military Base Location on Naval Station Norfolk

New Franchise Operator, ONE Enterprise Group, Helps MOD Serve Those Who Serve

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MOD Super-Fast Pizza Holdings, LLC (“MOD Pizza”, “MOD” or the “Company”), the purpose-led and people-first pioneer of the fast casual pizza category, today announced the grand opening of its first store location on a military base – Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk, VA. The newest opening also marks a significant milestone for the Company as it adds a new franchise operator, ONE Enterprise Group, led by Cassandra and Tony Bozeman.

With the opening of its inaugural military base location, MOD extends its reach to more than 82,000 active-duty military personnel and 112,000 family members, as well as the general public in Norfolk, providing them with a welcoming space to enjoy MOD’s fully customizable individually-sized pizzas and hand-tossed salads. The new location reflects MOD Pizza’s ongoing initiative to expand into unique and non-traditional settings, fostering a sense of community and accessibility for customers. This endeavor aligns with the company's forward-looking vision, emphasizing the exploration of distinctive locations for future growth.

“We at MOD are extraordinarily pleased to see our first opening on a Military Base with our franchisees, Cassandra and Tony Bozeman,” said Steve Blum, Chief Development Officer at MOD. “We believe that our unique combination of nutritious, quality ingredients combined with our speed of execution is perfectly suited for non-traditional environments such as Military Bases, Airports and Universities and love partnering with the military to feed our sailors. As the leader in the Fast-casual Pizza segment, we look forward to opening many more non-traditional locations across the US.”

“This is an exciting time for ONE Enterprise Group,” said Tony Bozeman, ONE Enterprise Group. “As a retired Army Officer it gives me great pleasure to employ motivated squad members as we serve those who serve along with their families. MOD Pizza is just what the Navy ordered and we are excited to make it happen!”

MOD remains dedicated to honoring the brave men and women of the armed forces; together with ONE Enterprise Group, MOD donated fifty percent of preview day sales to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, providing programs and services to assist active duty and retired Sailors, Marines, and their families in financial need. A check will be presented to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society today at 10:00 AM during a ribbon cutting ceremony.
