“The brand-new Derby store will shortly be ‘bringing home the dough!” confirms Anthony Round, business development manager, Papa John’s.  “The Papa John’s Derby franchise has all the right ingredients to succeed and there is a ready customer base, hungry for our fresh, quality pizza.  Combine this with our strong brand awareness, top it with TV advertising and we anticipate customers will just keep coming back for more!”

The Papa John’s concept of ‘Better Ingredients, Better Pizza’ has proved popular since set up in 1985.  Today, the Papa John’s franchise operates around the world with well over 300 outlets in the UK and 4,800 stores in more than 40 international markets and territories.
