Australian franchise Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar is currently in the process of looking for an owner to open a store in Bathurst.

The $100,000 investment opportunity is being offered to business minded people eager to dedicate their time and effort into promoting the franchise.

Any new franchise would be entering an already crowded Bathurst pizza market served by a mix of national brands including Pizza Hut, Little Caesars and Domino's, boutique eateries such as the Church Bar and local pizza stores including Lewy's Pizza on George Street and Vic's Place On Stewart.

But it would have the advantage of a nationally recognised brand noted for quality food.
