Papa John’s to offer Tasty Toppings in Trowbridge

10 July 2017

Leading pizza franchise, Papa John’s, has announced it has opened in Trowbridge.  Franchisee, Mo Abid and his newly recruited local team, are now looking forward to delivering Papa John’s top quality pizza with all the latest tasty toppings including Hawaiian and Greek inspired choices, to residents of the Wiltshire market town.

“Prior to joining Papa John’s I ran a college for international students in London,” confirms Mo Abid.  “However, the sector was changing and I was looking for a new opportunity.  A friend mentioned Papa John’s and after doing my homework, I purchased the Newbury franchised store in 2013. 

“It was a big learning curve as I was completely new to the industry and it took a couple of years to realise the full opportunity which Papa John’s offers,” continues Mo.  “Now, Newbury is doing particularly well and sales are four times what they were when I started out!  This success has enabled me to purchase a further two Papa John’s in Bristol, plus contribute to the latest Trowbridge opening. 

“Papa John’s fresh approach encapsulated in our famous strap-line: BETTER INGREDIENTS. BETTER PIZZA. is popular with customers from all walks of life, it’s a real recipe for success!” confirms Mo.  “I’m planning to capitalise on the Company’s continued UK expansion and aim to open a further 10 Papa John’s stores in the future.”

There are now more than 350 Papa John’s in the UK and over 5,000 stores in more than 40 international markets. Papa John's is one of the largest pizza companies in the world and has opportunities for franchisees throughout the UK. 

Anthony Round, business development manager, Papa John’s explains: “We are actively recruiting for new franchisees across the UK.  We are particularly interested in applications from individuals hungry to be part of our success story and who are interested in opening multiple stores.

“Help is provided with location selection and full turn-key opening,” confirms Round.  “As a franchisor, the Company supplies all the assistance needed to get your successful Papa John’s up and running.”
