Strategic Franchising Initiatives

In a bid to expand its footprint and enhance brand recognition, CPK is actively pursuing domestic and international franchise opportunities. By embarking on a domestic franchising program and refranchising existing stores, the chain aims to bring in new operators and maintain its brand ethos and quality standards across its locations.

Market Penetration through Non-Traditional Channels

With a focus on non-traditional outlets, including vending machines, California Pizza Kitchen is revolutionizing the way customers engage with its products. By introducing vending machines capable of dispensing high-quality pizzas and other menu items in high-traffic locations like airports and college dorms, CPK is meeting the demand for convenient, on-the-go dining experiences.

Global Expansion and Consumer Products

Looking beyond its restaurant operations, CPK is extending its reach into consumer goods with the launch of frozen pizzas, appetizers, and entrees. By venturing into international markets and diversifying its product line, the brand aims to create a seamless dining experience for customers, whether they dine in-store or enjoy CPK products at home.
