context_section_description: Prior to filing for bankruptcy, Giordano's  had 13 restaurants in Chicago and another 30 locations in the Chicago metropolitan area.  The firm opened its first locations outside of Illinois in northern and central Florida in 2005. Early Florida locations were opened in Lake Buena Vista and Kissimmee.  By October 2007, Giordano's had opened stores in Port Richey, Brandon, and Tampa. In February 2015, Giordano's opened a new restaurant in Indianapolis. The official opening date was February 3, 2015. This is the second Indiana location for Giordano's with the first Indiana location in Merrillville.  In July 2015, Giordano's made its entry into the Minnesota market, opening a restaurant in the Uptown area of Minneapolis.  Today there are a total of about 40+ stores in the Chicago area, and some located elsewhere. There are three locations which are franchisee, located in Florida. They plan to open new locations in Carmel, Indiana, Andersonville, Navy Pier, Vernon Hills, Matteson, and Beavercreek, Ohio. On April 12, 2018, it was announced that Omaha, Nebraska would be the recipient of a Giordano's pizzeria. Omaha won a contest conducted by Giordanos in November 2017 to see which city would be the next to open a Giordano's. Omaha beat out Dallas, Des Moines, Cincinnati, and Houston. After much fanfare and attention from Omaha there was a controversy as it appeared that Giordanos had backed out of its promise which created a massive backlash in Omaha. This caused Giordanos to seriously consider Omaha. On April 12, 2018, the marketing manager for Giordanos announced on Twitter and Facebook "We are definitely coming". The executive team has been scouting locations. 
  As of January 2020, outside of Illinois, Giordano's has locations in Arrowhead, AZ, Denver, CO, Kissimmee/Celebration, FL, Lake Buena Vista/Disney Area, FL, Sand Lake/Universal Studios, FL, Greenwood, IN, Castleton, IN, Indianapolis, IN, Schererville, IN, West Des Moines, IA, Richfield, MN, Minneapolis, MN, Beavercreek, OH, Canton, OH, Columbus, OH, Boca Park, NV, Las Vegas, NV and Kenosha, WI.
