Midwestern pizza brand vows to strengthen its commitment to franchisee support with the promotion of Haley Leuth
Davenport, IA (RestaurantNews.com) Happy Joe’s Pizza & Ice Cream has named Haley Lueth as its newest Franchise Business Consultant. The popular iconic pizza brand plans to use this strategic hire to continue to provide exceptional support and guidance to its franchisees, enhancing their overall experience in Happy Joe’s “Best-in-Class” performance initiative.
Haley began her career at Happy Joe’s in 2010 as a cook. By working hard and having the willingness to learn, she managed to quickly rise through the ranks of the company.

Haley’s extensive experience includes working as a head coach, traveling around the country, and leading Happy Joe’s international franchising efforts, as part of the New Store Opening and Training team, as well as running one of the two certified training locations. In her new role as Franchise Business Consultant, she will focus on improving restaurant performance, through better operations, consistent standards, financial metrics, and more, bridging the gap between franchisees and the Support Center.
