Ray Wiley grew up on the West Coast and cut his teeth in the restaurant business during the early years of Pizza Hut when his father owned, and then sold, several stores. Supervision of 10 Skyline Chili stores in Columbus, Ohio brought Ray to Dayton in 1989, when he purchased his first Subway. In 2002, Ray owned 15 stores and was named Subway’s Regional Franchisee of the year.
In 2007, Ray launched Hot Head Burritos, and in 2015, he launched the first Rapid Fired Pizzas. Today, Ray and his partners own 13 of the 70+ Hot Head stores and 11 of the 30+ Rapid Fired Pizza stores. In this keynote talk, Ray will reflect on how many attempts it takes to make a successful business, how to choose between franchising or building your own brand, and share his top piece of advice to help you find success.
