Abby’s Legendary Pizza has been purchased by Lone Rock Resources, according to a statement from the companies.

Lone Rock will purchase 100% equity ownership of the 36 pizzerias throughout Oregon and Washington. Abby’s has locations in Bend, Madras and Redmond, according to its website.

“We are very excited with this opportunity to further our commitment to this area and continue Abby’s commitment to its customers,” said Lone Rock Resources CEO Toby Luther. “We fully appreciate the long-term operation, experience, and growth of the Abby’s business. Over the past three years, we’ve visited every Abby’s location and have fallen in love with the high-quality employees, loyal customers and family-oriented business model.”

The companies plan to continue Abby’s 57-year-old brand, staffing and locations, according to a jointly issued news release.

“Their investment will take the company to even greater heights, and provide our one-thousand employees more opportunities to grow within the company,” said Mills Sinclair, one of the principal owners. “We’ve been working with Lone Rock for three years, and we all believe this means Abby’s will continue to be headquartered in Roseburg for generations to come.

“This is the beginning of the next chapter of Abby’s,” Sinclair said. “I have no doubt Abby’s will continue to thrive and grow in Roseburg and throughout the Pacific Northwest, just as we have since Abby Broughton and Bob Harrell started the company in 1964.”

Lone Rock Resources is a family-owned company founded in Roseburg in 1950. Originally timber -based, today the company has a variety of investments and employs over 110 in Douglas County.
