Mellow Mushroom Franchise Opportunities – History

Mellow Mushroom was founded in 1974 by three college students, who saw pizza baking as an art form and wanted to bring joy to others by exercising their art. The first store was created out of an old liquor store near Georgia Tech University in Atlanta, followed by more locations opening around Atlanta. By the late 1980s, the company began opening franchise locations. Mellow Mushroom has now grown to 100 stores in 16 states, and more locations are under development in Arizona, Colorado, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
