Toppers Pizza sells corporate store to current franchisees

Toppers Pizza has sold a company location in Janesville, Wisconsin, to MC Pizza, marking the franchisee’s fourth Toppers owned, according to a press release.

MC Pizza plans to open a new location in Beloit, Wisconsin, in 2025.

MC Pizza previously acquired three company-owned Toppers locations in March 2024: Menomonee Falls, Fox Point and Wauwatosa North. The Janesville store, located at 2201 Humes Road, represents another milestone in its strategic expansion across Wisconsin.

The franchise group is owned by Chester Ison and Marcus Tincher. Ison serves are the operating partner of MC Pizza and worked his way up from team member to general manager, area supervisor and then franchisee. Tincher is a real estate agent in Whitewater, Wisconsin.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to take on the Janesville location and to bring Toppers to Beloit next year,” Ison said in the press release. “Toppers has always been about more than just great pizza – it’s about quality, innovation and community engagement. I’m excited to continue this upward trajectory with the brand.”

Toppers CEO Adam Oldenburg said Ison and Tincher have been outstanding franchisees.

“Their success is a testament to the opportunities we create for our most loyal partners,” he said in the press release. “We can’t wait to see them grow and bring Toppers to even more communities in the great state of Wisconsin.”

Toppers Pizza has 70 locations.
