Who owns an interest in Begcom, the designated supplier for Beggars Pizza?

According to Beggars Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Laurance Garetto and Cheryl Garetto own an interest in Begcom. Begcom is a designated supplier for Beggars Pizza franchisees, meaning franchisees are required to purchase certain items from them.

This arrangement is common in franchising, where franchisors or their affiliates act as suppliers to maintain quality control and brand consistency. In 2024, Begcom generated approximately $6,398,528 in revenue from selling approved products to Beggars Pizza franchisees and affiliate-owned restaurants.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that a portion of their ongoing expenses will be directed to Begcom for required supplies. It is important for potential franchisees to review the Commissary Agreement (Exhibit D) to understand the specific terms and conditions of purchasing from Begcom, including pricing, payment terms, and potential supply chain considerations. Understanding the relationship between the franchisor and its designated suppliers is crucial for assessing the overall financial viability and operational requirements of a Beggars Pizza franchise.
