Reno, Nevada-based Nozzleman Pizza has opened its first location inside a Walmart center in Carson City, Nevada under the helm of Jesse Corletto and business partner Robert Powells. The brand plans to open inside 17 Walmart locations across six states this year, according to a press release.

Following the Carson City debut, additional northern Nevada Nozzleman Pizza locations will open inside Gardnerville, Fallon and Reno Walmart stores by late summer. Further expansion is expected in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming and Utah, with plans to eventually open in all 50 states.

"Walmart is an iconic American brand with an unparalleled customer base," Powells said in the press release. "We couldn't dream of a better collaboration than with a company that shares our commitment to the communities we serve. The opening of our store in Carson City represents the first step in an ambitious growth strategy that blends quality food with our mission of supporting the first responders who serve our communities."

Corletto, a retired firefighter, co-created Nozzleman Pizza to honor his fellow first responders.

As Nozzleman Pizza scales nationally, the company is actively seeking franchisees who share the company's vision. "With Walmart locations, our franchisees have the potential to tap into high-foot-traffic stores with a very loyal customer base helping to ensure financial stability," Powells added. "We would love for people to come join our family and become franchisees of a wonderful brand."
