Not notable. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 01:14, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - the only reference is a local article. WP:ORGDEPTH criteria are not met. The pizza is not that incredible.--Rpclod (talk) 12:46, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete: I can believe it. It looks like a slightly out of date article on a mid-size local chain. Getting an award for growth in 2007 is ominous, given the business climate since 2010, and retail food is strikingly volatile. Without RS on notability (will change my motion if sources are found), it fails on corporate notability. Hithladaeus (talk) 17:40, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: NorthAmerica1000's sources are not substantively different from the ones in the article. They are sources. The most significant coverage seems to be for the $30 million borrowing and then restructuring, and that would argue a pretty strong company. Otherwise, these are frequently local (one opening here, or there, or there again), so the sources are less convincing to me than the capitalization. It's not enough for me to change my opinion, however. (I think the standards may be too tough, actually.) Hithladaeus (talk) 02:17, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - Seems notable, but 7/9 on NA1K's sources fall under WP:Routine, ie the majority are only notices of restaurant openings - only #2 & #6 are actually about the company. However, if they exist there are probably more that can be found. Remember, just because the source is notable does not mean the subject is... --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 00:33, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:ROUTINE is a part of the notability guideline for events. This article is about a company, not an event. North America1000 02:42, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Store openings are events, and coverage of them falls under WP:Routine. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 08:35, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep - just barely meets GNG. Event guidelines only cover articles about the events themselves (ie, building collapse; school board election etc). Life (and the timelines of businesses) are a series of events. —Мандичка YO 😜 16:31, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - NA1000 has persuaded me with the sources he has found. GuzzyG (talk) 18:13, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
