Papa Murphy’s CREATE-ing a Fresh Store Experience

The #1 Pizza Chain in America brings the story of their brand to life

VANCOUVER, Wash. – The world’s leading take ’n’ bake pizza chain, Papa Murphy’s, announces an innovative store redesign that brings the story of their food to life.

“For over 32 years, we have strived to provide the best fresh pizza experience to busy families. Our new food-forward store highlights our high-quality ingredients with clean and simple design,” said Kevin King, Papa Murphy’s Chief Development Officer. “Two key features of the modernized CREATE store are the digital menu boards and the addition of a convenient grab ‘n’ go “Murphy’s Market.”

The new Papa Murphy's was designed by Tesser, a Brand Strategy and Retail Design firm located in San Francisco. The Papa Murphy’s CREATE store focuses on complete transparency and personalization. An open layout showcases the scratch-made dough prep area, hand-chopped vegetable toppings, and freshly grated 100% whole-milk mozzarella cheese. A digital menu board display enhances the guest experience and provides a resource for local messaging. The store flow allows the guest to see their pizza being created right before their eyes.

“We’re fresh. We boast uncompromising quality, hand-prepared ingredients and want to share the CREATE experience,” added King. “We are extremely passionate about providing a take-home dinner experience our guests can be proud of – just like we are proud of the new store design.”

Papa Murphy’s launched the first CREATE Store in Austin on September 4, 2013.  Two additional locations are slated to open in San Marcos and Phoenix in October of this year. Future plans call for franchisee partners to open new units and remodel existing units with the new design.
