President and founder of Happy’s Pizza, Happy Asker, was convicted of tax fraud. From June 2004 through April 2011, Asker, along with certain franchise owners and employees, executed a tax fraud scheme in which they substantially underreported gross sales and payroll amounts to the IRS for nearly all 60 Happy’s Pizza franchise restaurants located in Michigan, Ohio and Illinois.
