Brad's e-story: A Sense of Purpose

While other Purdue students were busy doing Fountain Runs during Boiler Gold Rush, Brad Niemeier was honing his entrepreneurial spirit by selling pizzas out of his dorm room. Who’s a better test audience for wild pizza flavors than college students?!

These late-night pizza hankerings became the foundation that Azzip Pizza was built on. In 2012, Brad presented his idea and won the Burton D Morgan Business Plan Competition at Purdue University, earning $20,000 to start his business. By 2014, the first Azzip Pizza opened on Evansville’s West Side.
