Marco's Pizza Coming To Littleton

LITTLETON, CO — A new location of the popular Marco's Pizza franchise is opening in Littleton on March 18.

Beyond the fresh, high-quality ingredients, Marco's Pizza offers is a unique menu item: the pizza bowl, a crustless pie baked into a bowl to give a twist on the classic food while meeting potential dietary restrictions, a news release said.

The franchise is being brought to Littleton by the entrepreneurial duo of Chris Harper and Austin Toupin, who met at a Best Buy where they worked in 2004, the release said. After both Harper and Toupin spent a decade in the restaurant industry, they banded together to pursue their dreams of entrepreneurship by opening a franchise group called MCAA Brands in 2018.

The duo's multi-unit deal with Marco's Pizza represents their latest venture; they opened their first Jimmy John's store in 2019 and have grown to more than 50 locations, the release said.

The pair opened their first Marco's Pizza location in 2021 and are now set to open their 10th location of that franchise.

Littleton's Marco's Pizza is located at Suite 301 at 50 W Littleton Blvd.

"We gravitated toward Marco’s Pizza because of the quality product, quality brand, and growth potential," Toupin said. "The goal for us has always been to provide as many jobs and opportunities to other people as possible. Marco’s Pizza allows us to expand and achieve this mission with ease. We are honored to bring authentic products and quality service to the Littleton community."
