Sam's Pizza Franchise

Sam's Pizza is an Ahmedabad-based pizza chain from the Sankalp group. Its About page says the story begins in 1999 under Dr. Kailash Goenka, Chairman of Sankalp (the South Indian chain he started in 1980), with an unlimited-pizza offer that included soups, salads, garlic bread and brownies. The brand's own pages disagree on its age: the About page also says 'more than 21 years' and 'last 22 years', while its franchise page says 'established in the year 1980' and 'growth since 1990'. The 1999 date is shown as the brand's claim only. The site claims 29 outlets across India; its store locator, read on 25 Oct 2026, lists 21 entries, 19 of them named Sam's Pizza (12 in Ahmedabad) and two Sankalp Food Court entries. Sam's Pizza says it offers franchises and that no experience is required. The Sankalp group's franchise page lists Sam's Pizza among its brands and gives one group-wide line, 'Investment ranges from Rs. 50 lacs to 1 cr' over and above property cost or rental deposits, but the same page's application forms show other budget bands, so this listing does not treat it as Sam's Pizza's investment. Sam's own franchise page publishes no investment, fee, royalty or area; it says only that owner and staff training, real-estate help, design and construction guidance, marketing support and purchasing are provided. What to watch: no investment, fee, royalty, territory or contract terms are published for Sam's Pizza; the outlet claim (29) is above the locator count (19 Sam's-named); the brand's own pages give four different start dates; and the Sam's franchise enquiry form showed a maintenance notice when read on 25 Oct 2026. The franchisor entity could not be confirmed from a primary source, so no company details or filings are shown, and no registry, court or trademark searches were run for this listing.
