Your Pie in the Northside Neighbor

Your Pie in the Northside Neighbor

Your Pie was recently featured in an article in the Northside Neighbor. Your Pie, an Athens-based pizza restaurant company with 11 other locations in Georgia and others in Southeastern states, will open its Buckhead location in early May. The originator of the down-the-line pizza category will be located in what was previously a Johnny Rockets and a Lime Fresh Mexican Grill, at 5 W. Paces Ferry Road. “The Buckhead mentality is the perfect match for the spirit of Your Pie,” said Drew French, founder. The Buckhead location is the first of three new Atlanta restaurants that will open before the end of summer and will feature the company’s new prototype. The company plans to continue growing in metro Atlanta, with plans to open up to 40 additional restaurants in the area over the next three to five years.

Your Pie Regional Manager, Ben Allen, will be managing the daily operations of Your Pie’s first prototype restaurant. The new restaurant will be the first corporate location that is not under the sole ownership of founder Drew French; Your Pie recently partnered with Georgia Oak Partners, who will be part-owners of the new store.

Unlike other restaurants, which target the college crowd, this prototype store in Buckhead is located in a major commercial hub. Buckhead is home to a large number of young professionals, businesses, and residential high rises. “We wanted a prime location with heavy traffic to help further expand our reach into the Atlanta market,” Allen explained. “This will be the first store that features the new design and vibe that we want for all our stores moving forward. Rather than getting franchisees to travel to Athens, this Atlanta location will also be the restaurant that we will show all future potential franchisees.”

Allen has been a member of the Your Pie team since 2009, before the brand became a franchise operation. Since joining founder Drew French as a general staff member at his first Your Pie restaurant, Allen has made his way up to become the regional manager of the brand in 2011, acting as the first point of contact for all franchisees.  Allen assists Kevin Altman, the director of training, with training for all new stores in the first couple of weeks of their opening.

Allen grew up in Roswell, Ga. and majored in economics at the University of Georgia. It was through his fraternity that he first met French. After graduation, Allen worked for a healthcare staffing company until there was a merger and his offices dissolved in 2008. While trying to figure out his next move, French invited Allen to help out at his restaurant. Unexpectedly, Allen discovered a passion for the food industry and was appointed the general manager of Your Pie’s second location.

Allen volunteered to operate the new location and prototype store, confident that his experience and knowledge of the brand will help it successfully grow in the prime spot.
