Express Seminar 2024: Hunt Brothers Pizza Awards Expresses for Exceptional Sales

Express stores accepted their piece of the pizza prize at the Express Seminar’s opening session for exceeding sales goals in Hunt Brothers Pizza’s How ‘Bout A Pizza Contest.

Hunt Brothers Pizza, a quick-serve restaurant (QSR) at Express stores worldwide, hosted the sales contest from February through April 2024. Participating Express stores were given a curated sales goal based on each store’s average sales in 2023.

Participants were divided into two categories based on the total amount of sales dollars and the percentage of sales dollars over their goal. Stores were also divided between CONUS and OCONUS locations.

Three grand-prize winners, the Fort Campbell Airfield Express and the Fort Cavazos 1^st Cav Express in CONUS as well as the Rose Barracks Express in OCONUS, received a traveling trophy with the stores’ names engraved on the plate, a team pizza party and bragging rights.
