Episode Synopsis

GUEST - Juan Engelbrecht – entrepreneur and one of the franchise pioneers.

After nearly a decade off the menu, Scooter’s Pizza once South Africa’s fastest-growing pizza brand is making a comeback! Known for its daring “39 minutes or it’s free” promise, the brand vanished when Taste Holdings pivoted to Domino’s Pizza.

Now, the ovens are firing up again under the leadership of Juan Engelbrecht entrepreneur, corporate executive and business acquisition specialist with over 40 years of transformative experience. Engelbrecht, who helped expand Scooter’s in its early days, is relaunching the iconic brand through 1st Choice Business Brokers & Franchising, with the first store reopening in Melville, Johannesburg.
