If starting a business is something that piques your interest then look to pizza. According to a study done by the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), “13% of the U.S. population aged 2 years and over, consumed pizza on any given day”. That’s a fairly high number for daily consumption of one particular food type. Plus if this new business venture is done in Fort Collins, Colorado, there is a unique and great audience that loves pizza. According to restaurant.org, “In 2015, Colorado’s restaurants are projected to register $10.2 billion in sales”. So why not try this business venture into a billion dollar industry in Colorado and in a community where there are both college students and long-term residence that enjoy good food? If the current economy frightens at first, think of this, “In 2015, restaurants account for 264,200 jobs in Colorado — 11% of employment in the state (restaurant.org)”. This new establishment could help continue the growth of the economy and help create new jobs in a highly competitive state like Colorado.
