The Young Entrepreneurs

Aaron & Chelsey

Farmington, Arkansas

Aaron and Chelsey dreamed about opening a pizza franchise together since they were in college, but assumed it would take decades to save up enough to open their own place. Just a few years later, they learned they’d be able to open their own Simple Simon’s Pizza® without having tons of cash in the bank. The low upfront cost made business ownership attainable, and the guidance and support Aaron and Chelsey got from Simple Simon’s Pizza® set these young entrepreneurs up for success.

Aaron

The best part of their story is the family atmosphere with Corporate. I think that's a huge thing they've got going. They don't realize how much it means to be able to call them and know that they've got your back.

Chelsey

With other things, the franchise fee for a lot of other places is sky-high. With Simple Simon's it's more something that, hey, I can do this.
