Why This Air Force Vet Became a Marco's Pizza Franchisee
Beginning in 1985, Stephanie Mosely spent seven years as an Air Force intelligence analyst with top-secret clearance, running a division that oversaw the highest- and fastest-flying aircraft ever built. Which is to say, she never thought she’d end up running a joint. But fast-forward to 2016, and as she was heading home from her corporate job in Virginia, a wind-waver banner caught her eye and lured her into a an international with more than 900 locations. She read the company’s family-founded origin story, ordered a sausage-and-pepperoni pizza, and was sold: She wanted a piece of the Marco’s pie. Two years later, she opened the doors to her very own location in Newport News, Va., and is learning that her experiences in corporate America and the military perfectly prepared her for life as a franchisee and entrepreneur.
