Punch Pizza Raises Minimum Wage To $10 Per Hour

The same week thousands of workers protested across the nation to raise the federal minimum wage, one Minnesota company decided to do something about it. John Puckett, co-owner of Punch Neapolitan Pizza, says all eight of their Twin Cities' locations now have minimum wage set at $10 an hour. "My business partner and I decided to invest in our people because we are growing our company in the Twin Cities," Puckett said. "We really believe to have the best quality product and service, it's the right thing to do." Minnesota's minimum wage is $7.25. Puckett hopes the pay will keep good workers and attract valuable employees to their company.
