Mr Gatti’s Pizza, a Texas-based chain, is teaming up with Walmart. They plan to open 92 locations in four states.
The new locations will be in Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. By year-end, 12 stores will open in south Oklahoma and north Texas.
Mr Gatti’s at Walmart will offer counter service, seating, and delivery. Shoppers can order through the app and pick up their food after shopping.
“Walmart recognized Mr Gatti’s as a regional favorite,” said CEO Jim Phillips. “Our 55-year legacy of great taste and experience appealed to them. This partnership helps us grow and strengthens our community presence.”
Phillips added, “Mr Gatti’s and Walmart share the same customers. This partnership will serve our communities better.”
With these new openings, Mr Gatti’s will have over 230 locations nationwide. They already have stores in Alabama, Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee. There are plans to expand further into other Walmart stores.
“We are thrilled to have Mr Gatti’s in our stores,” said Amy White of Walmart. “Their menu enhances our customers’ shopping experience, offering value and convenience.”
White continued, “This collaboration aligns with our goal of a one-stop destination for all needs. We look forward to its positive impact on our communities.”
