Members of the HRG team and their families spent time over the weekend giving back to the community.

Through HRG's involvement in @[urn:li:organization:8974111] charities they were able to help distribute more than 10,000 pairs of socks in advance of colder weather arriving here in Nashville. Of course, they also had the cutest Marco's Pizza team on the planet deliver more than 330 free pizza certificates.

A big thank you to Food Republic!

It feels good to be voted the BEST CHAIN PIZZA brand in the country by Food Republic. Their comment that Marco's Pizza is "arguably the best option at the intersection of quality and price" is spot on. We couldn't agree more.

If you haven't switched to Marco's Pizza, what are you waiting for?

Great food isn't made by accident. It comes from a group of people working together to exceed expectations. Watch it now.

When Appleton, WI, community member Josh Kalkofen asked if we'd help provide food for neighbors impacted by the Fox Valley tornado, the team was quick to answer the call. Hoogland Restaurant Group was humbled to be a part of Josh's mission. Our hearts are with our friends and neighbors in Appleton.

Last week, members of our marketing team spent time gathering visual content for upcoming campaigns. The hardest part of the shoot was knowing that they couldn't eat any of the delicious food! Here's a look behind the scenes.

Huge shout out to our Junction City, Kansas @[urn:li:organization:797519] team for partnering in the 11th Annual Kansas Veterans Cemetery Benefit Ride. Junction City is home to the Fort Riley Army Base and Fort Riley is home to the Army's famous 1st Infantry Division - better known as the Big Red One. The Big Red One is the Army's oldest continuously serving division.

A big thank you to General Manager Jaime Bell and her team for helping to make this year's event a success. Over $5,000 was raised for the Kansas Veterans Cemetery.

Here at Hoogland Restaurant Group we are all about community. Last week at our Hobart, Indiana Marco's Pizza location, the team held a Touch-A-Truck event that was attended by many local families. Our guests loved the balloons, temporary tattoos and of course, the pizza, but they also loved engaging with a fire truck from the local fire department!

We were so grateful that Chief Jody and the crew were able to provide tours of the truck, distribute fire hats and offer lots of great experiences to the kids and families that attended. Thank you so much!

One thing we love doing almost as much as making the best pizza in the world is connecting with organizations on their fundraising. Here is one of our store teams showing off a few pizza box masterpieces created by kids during one of our recent box night events.
