Sunset at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival

A message from Richard Weil, the President & COO of the Nick-N-Willy's Franchise Company.

Park City's infamous Main Street at night
We have concluded our last delivery and attended the last event for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. The past few weeks have certainly flown by as our local Park City franchise owner, our store in Holladay, Utah, and our corporate operations team worked on every little detail to make sure that we delivered the very best Nick-N-Willy’s experience to each and every festival volunteer.

When we began our discussions this past Fall about becoming an “Official Provider” for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, we only began to understand the dynamics of such a large gathering and well known festival. From our first conference calls in December to the last pizza delivery this past Sunday, we realized we were working on a very special internationally acclaimed event!

More pizza deliveries!

Having met this final weekend many Sundance Film Festival (SFF) goers from the early 80’s to contemporary fans while standing in lines awaiting film screenings, to passerbys on Park City’s famed “Main Street” and points in between, SFF holds a very special place to the thousands who attend. As I reflect upon our first experience at the Festival through our own video, blogs, Facebook fan page, Twitter feed, pictures, comments, and testimonials, it all seems to sum up as a wonderful “experience”.


Richard helps out delivering pizza to the Sundance Headquarters



On Saturday night attending the final gala and chatting with SFF volunteer coordinator Emily Aagaard, she gave NNW not only two thumbs up, but perhaps the greatest complement in that she said “every delivery, every pizza and every volunteer so appreciated and enjoyed the NNW product”. What more could we as a provider of great food and service want but to have our customers expectations met and exceeded! So, we did what we said we would do, and that was to make SFF and Nick-N-Willy’s “happen”, and happen we did!


Sonia and her staff work on yet another order for Sundance!.

We have so many people to thank but clearly to start with; our franchise owner in Park City, UT, Sonia Bernard McCall and her staff. Sonia, thanks is a mere understatement to you and your team. Thank you again to our NNW store in Holladay, UT for the behind the scenes support and their own service to SFF. Kudos to our VP of Operations, Paola Rossi for such great attention to details and execution. Big thanks also to Chris Weil for his creativity, energy and expertise. Additional thanks to Tanis Sullivan who has been the glue on the information and social networking highways.

"Nick", the pizza box man, on the slopes at Sundance

Finally, from our new friend, “Nick", the pizza box man as well as hundreds of new social media fans, we have left Park City and the 2010 SFF with great memories, tired feet, and hundreds of pounds of dough, sauce, and cheese and a countless happy Sundance volunteers.

Don't forget to eat more NICK-N-WILLY'S PIZZA!
