Joining the agreement is operator Klayton Anderson, who is Betzayda Alvarez-Anderson's husband and Russ Anderson's nephew. "This agreement reflects exactly the kind of operator partnership that drives sustainable growth for our brand," Gerardo Flores, chief development officer of Marco's Pizza, said in the release.
