All corporate and franchised stores will offer patrons the chance to donate to Komen by rounding up their bill or contributing a larger amount to receive a Riko's-Komen co-branded sticker or Breast Cancer Awareness bracelet

STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Riko's Pizza ("Riko's" or the "Company") today announced the launch of a new partnership with Susan G. Komen^® ("Komen"), a renowned breast cancer research, advocacy, and support organization. This partnership, launched in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month, is a significant step towards raising funds and spreading awareness to support those affected by breast cancer.

Throughout the month of October, Riko's Pizza will offer patrons the opportunity to donate to Susan G. Komen^® by rounding up their bill to the nearest dollar or contributing a larger, specified amount. Anyone who donates will have their choice of receiving a custom, co-branded Riko's Pizza and Susan G. Komen^® sticker or a Breast Cancer Awareness Month rubber band. This giving opportunity will be available at all Riko's corporate and franchise-owned locations.

Further, Riko's corporate locations will utilize specialized, pink takeout boxes for a limited time. They will also host educational seminars at various locations throughout the month, empowering attendees with knowledge about breast cancer and how they can make a difference in fighting the disease.

"At Riko's, we've seen first-hand the devastating impacts of breast cancer on the lives of those in our local communities. That's why we're incredibly proud to partner with Komen this year and support their mission of saving lives by meeting critical needs and investing in research to prevent and cure breast cancer," said Rico Imbrogno, CEO of Riko's Pizza. "We urge customers – our Riko's famiglia – to consider donating to this worthy cause so that we can tackle breast cancer together, one slice at a time."

Susan G. Komen^® was founded in 1982 by Nancy G. Brinker, who promised her dying sister, Susan, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer. Now the world's leading nonprofit in the fight against breast cancer, Susan G. Komen^® has invested more than $3.5 billion in breast cancer research, advocacy, and patient support, helping reduce the breast cancer mortality rate by 43%. Komen continues to improve access to high-quality care, offer direct patient support, and empower communities with trustworthy information.

"We appreciate Riko's Pizza's commitment to doing its part to end breast cancer and raise meaningful dollars for the mission of Susan G. Komen," said Nicole Marohn, Executive Director of Komen New England. "It takes all of us working together to provide the support patients need and fund the breakthrough research that will bring us the cures for breast cancer."
