Cottage Inn Pizza Set to Become New Favorite Slice in Berkley

BERKLEY, Mich. – Cottage Inn Pizza, the beloved pizza brand, will be rolling out its dough in Berkley in late April. The franchised location will set up shop at 3642 West 12 Mile Road, across the street from Berkley Auto Care.

Maher Aldib is the owner of the new franchised Cottage Inn Pizza location in Berkley, which will offer a variety of menu options for carryout and delivery service. A hometown brand run by the same family for over 65 years, Cottage Inn Pizza has long been known for its signature crust, made from a proprietary flour mix that creates an incomparable taste and quality among competitors. Cottage Inn also offers a diverse menu of Mediterranean favorites, as well as 33 different styles of pizza, subs, salads and hot wings.

“It’s high time Berkley gets a taste of Cottage Inn Pizza,” said Aldib. “When I started working for the company as a student, the first thing I fell in love with was the pizza, of course. I later realized how much I enjoyed the fast-paced, positive work environment. I’m eager to create the same atmosphere I fell in love with years ago here in Berkley.”

While attending school at the University of Michigan, Aldib worked at the Cottage Inn Pizza on campus. After graduating with his degree in Biomedical Engineering and working for several years, Aldib searched for an opportunity to open his own business. Having connected so well with the brand, Aldib made the move to open a Cottage Inn Pizza in his community and looks forward to deepening his community ties through the business.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Maher to the Cottage Inn family,” said Deborah Masse, senior vice president at Cottage Inn Pizza. “It’s always great to see a long-time fan open a shop of their own. With Maher leading the location, we’re sure to become Berkley’s go-to option for pizza lovers.”

With 50 more locations across the United States, Cottage Inn Pizza quickly becomes a convenient neighborhood staple in the markets it serves. Local owners have close community ties and often team up with community charities that are part of Cottage Inn’s comprehensive local giveback program, further endearing the brand to its loyal customers.

As the brand expands, it is awarding franchise opportunities to qualified individuals who are looking to join the Cottage Inn family. The investment required to open a Cottage Inn Pizza Franchise is between $200,000 and $350,000, which includes the initial franchise fee that grants a license to run a business under the Cottage Inn Pizza name. Cottage Inn offers a world-class training program and ongoing support to keep each store running successfully and smoothly.
