Show Notes
Growing up in Detroit, brothers Brandon and Zane Hunt loved their hometown pizza. So, in 2011, they launched Via 313, introducing Motor City-style pizza to Austin, Texas with a $30,000 investment and a food truck. Today, Via 313 (“by way of” 313 — Detroit’s area code) boasts 17 units.
Brandon and Zane explain how they:
- Grew their business from a food truck to a full-service restaurant to an award-winning, multi-state concept with locations throughout the Southwest.
- Won over investors to help finance business expansion.
- Fostered owner-operator and investor relations.
- Developed a consistent brand and company culture at multiple locations.
- Plan to grow the concept to 30-plus units within the next four years.
