James Vowler, President, CEO, Chief Financial Officer and Director
Since 1995, Mr. Vowler a director and the principal officer of the Company. Jim Vowler, who attended Northeastern University with a major in Entrepreneurship, has been an owner/operator of pizza shops since 1991. Having started out owning a Pittsburgh based pizza franchise, Jim Vowler decided "there had to be something better" so he originally developed Unique Pizza Factory which from its conception was developed to have the consistency of a major franchise with the quality of a mom and pop store. He also designed Unique Pizza as a franchise that can easily convert existing pizza shops over to Unique Pizza and Subs shops allowing for rapid growth in any pizza market. After operating Unique Pizza Factory (the precursor to Unique Pizza), for over ten (10) years, he has carved a niche in the industry, which Unique Foods will now be able to grow from. During the growing and learning processes, Jim’s experience grew such that he now really understands how to duplicate and document the 'recipes' for franchise-wide product consistency. He also personally performed all the construction, design, decorating, painting and equipment installation for over twenty (20) pizza shops; thus understanding the work and costs associated with the physical operation; thus allowing for both new and conversion stores to be easily planned, designed, implemented and ready to manage 'turn-key' operation. Jim Vowler's tenacity, work-ethic, enthusiasm, love of the pizza and restaurant business and his commitment for offering consistent quality products along with his knowledge of the pizza industry makes him the key individual of the total operation. In addition, his strong desire to 'partner with Franchisee’s and the community' in which the stores are located, exemplifies the credibility he establishes in the quest to have a 'win/win' business/community relationship that is delivered through charity participation, local advertising, employment and fellowship.
