StefanLocal Store Marketing Manager - Domino's Pizza
“We're seeing differences in the performance of stores that are active on a local level and stores that are not. The participating stores turn out to have better performance, not only in sales and order growth but also in profitability.”
JennaMarketing Director - Boston Pizza
“It’s a true partnership. Marvia is always bringing new ideas and developments forward to offer value and benefits for our brand. They are also willing to invest in development that we need and see as valuable, especially when they think it will benefit their other partners.”
StephanieDirector of Branding - The WAC

CourtneyVP Marketing - Kidstrong
“Marvia has always been super responsive ... Anything that we have sent them, it's always a positive, 'we'll figure out a solution for that.' I don't think I've ever heard a ‘no’ ... Marvia always comes to the table with a solution, which I think is the most important thing in a partnership.”
