A TALE OF TWO KINGS:

Why do Pizza King locations around the state vary so much? Well, in 1956, Indiana's first Pizza King was opened by brothers Wendell and Robert Swartz in Lafayette. Soon after, the brothers decided they wanted to take the growing business in different directions, so they split up the state and now two entirely separate companies operate using the Pizza King name in their own regions of Indiana.

The map above shows Wendell's territory in Red. That's where you'll find the famous Pizza King Guy logo and also some of the spots that deliver beverages via model train. In Yellow is Robert's slice of the state, where you'll find the unique "Ring the King" system that lets customers order via a phone at their table.

Furthermore, neither parent company runs their many locations with a traditional franchise model (where restaurant operations and appearance would be controlled by the larger corporation). Instead, each location is independently owned and operated, dealing with their parent companies through a unique "supply agreement" that has them purchase ingredients and supplies from the larger company without being under their control.

This means each Pizza King is truly a local business within its community and has a chance to set themselves apart from the rest. In Evansville, for example, Pizza King is known for their signature stromboli much more than their pizza.
