**LOOKING FOR A BETTER HOUSE, HE FOUND A BETTER PIZZA.**  
  
In 1978, Jet’s Pizza® founder Eugene Jetts was about to buy a new home. But on the way there, his passion for pizza took over. Instead, he signed a lease on a space that would become the first Jet’s® location. Along with his brother and partner John, they opened the doors to Jetts Party Shoppe & Pizzeria in Sterling Heights, MI. The pizza world would never be the same. They were about to make deep dish history by offering a truly, better pizza.  
  
That first location has grown to hundreds of locations in 22 states. Jet’s offers more than famous Detroit-style pizzas, like hand-tossed round, thin-crust, and NY-Style pizzas, fresh salads, breads, and desserts. One thing that will never change is their commitment to quality ingredients.

It happens millions of times each week, a customer receives a drink from a Starbucks barista, but each interaction is unique. It's just a moment in time, just one hand reaching over the counter to present a cup to another outstretched hand. But it's a connection.
