The rainy afternoon did not keep customers from going to the grand opening of Marco’s Pizza Sunday. The pizza chain opened at the old Hog Heaven location on Lafayette Parkway.

“We haven’t advertised, so what we’ve done is doing it through word of mouth,” franchisee Chris Lopez said. “Some young folks first came in at the beginning of the week, we just had them take a picture of their food or cup and just say ‘Marco’s is now open.’
