Joe Croce founded Cici’s Pizza in 1985 with his first location in Plano, Texas. Over the next 19 years, Cici’s grew to over 450 locations before Joe sold the company in 2003, to spend more time with his family. During his time at Cici’s, Joe received numerous Entrepreneur of the Year awards, was featured in magazines, newspaper articles and television shows. Joe currently resides in Westlake, Texas with his wife and two children. He attends Gateway Church and enjoys speaking on how Godly principles changed his outlook on business, and how his “road to success” left him feeling empty until he placed his faith in the Lord.
