Papa John’s to Deliver Pizza to Paisley

29 October 2015

Leading pizza franchise, Papa John’s, has announced its latest store opening in Scotland.  Franchisee, Zulfiqar Haidar, who already runs three stores in Glasgow with his brother Iftikhar, will now work with an expanding team to deliver Papa John’s top quality pizza to Paisley.

Zulfiqar Haidar, who won a Scottish Business Award in 2013, explains: “The new Paisley store is ideally placed near our Glasgow Papa John’s outlets so fits like part of a jigsaw puzzle.  We have had such great feedback from our Glasgow customers over the years that we felt it was time to come to Paisley.  I’m very confident that the people of Paisley will love our pizzas that are made with 100% fresh dough and hand-stretched bases. However, our next challenge is finding hard working and motivated staff in Paisley.  We wish to bring lots of new jobs to the local community and offer the opportunity for anyone looking for full or part-time work.

“The potential business and demand for Papa John’s is such that we are already looking at our fifth store.” confirms Zulfiqar Haidar.  “Therefore, we are looking to train new recruits and offer them a real future by creating a win-win situation. All we require is enthusiasm and in return, offer extensive one-to-one training in-store, backed up by Papa Johns’ excellent online training program. So with the right dedication and effort any member of staff can make their mark and have the chance to become a supervisor or manager in one of the stores.”

Papa John's is one of the largest pizza companies in the world and has opportunities for franchisees throughout the UK.  Papa John’s is currently running an incentive scheme to help franchisees in the early stages of growing their businesses which includes discounted royalty fees, contribution towards marketing spend plus free equipment for new stores opening our the enterprise development zones of the Midlands, Wales, The North West, North East and Scotland.  These great deals are available for openings in 2015, so first come first served!
