Sbarro Enters Uruguay with New Franchise Partner

Sbarro partners with Retail Uruguay Group to open multiple units in the next five years

Sbarro announced the opening of its first Sbarro location in Uruguay in partnership with Retail Uruguay Group, headquartered in Montevideo. Earlier this year, Retail Uruguay Group signed a multi-unit development agreement with Sbarro to build five Sbarro and two Pizza Cucinova restaurants in Uruguay in the next five years.

Armando Torres, President of Retail Uruguay Group, who brings 30 years of retail experience to the new partnership, said, “We are excited to join with Sbarro and build the brand in Uruguay. Sbarro’s operating model is unique in the industry, combining high quality, fresh ingredients with affordable prices. Uruguayan consumers are heavy users in the Pizza category, and we’re excited to offer pizza by the slice, which is a new way to enjoy the product.”
