LOUISVILLE, Ky. - NetWorld Alliance, operator of ATMmarketplace.com, KIOSKmarketplace.com and Kiosks.org, has added PizzaMarketplace.com to its growing line-up of news and information Web sites.
PizzaMarketplace focuses on the $26 billion ready-to-eat pizza industry. Steve Coomes, former editor-in-chief of the monthly magazine Pizza Today, is the site's editor.
Like its sister sites, PizzaMarketplace covers breaking industry news and provides colorful features and in-depth articles for its readers. A number of marketing opportunities are available, including banners, classifieds, company showcases and research center sponsorships.
The site got off to an impressive start on its Nov. 5 launch, providing exclusive, in-depth coverage of why high cheese prices-which have plagued operators all year-suddenly plummeted this fall. The site also featured a profile on Pizza Hut founder Frank Carney, who became a Papa John's franchisee in 1994, as well as a story on the settlement of a long-term dispute between Little Caesars and franchisees of its pizza stores.
"With the launch, PizzaMarketplace has positioned itself as the source for news in the pizza industry. I'm confident that pizzeria operators will find our site essential to their success in business," said Coomes. "After 12 years in print journalism, I'm convinced that the Web is the best news-delivery vehicle available for any industry."
