08 January 2019

Leading pizza franchise, Papa John’s, has delivered on another successful year with new store openings at the end of 2018 including: Dundee, Cannock, Leeds, Bury St Edmunds, Bracknell, Peterborough, Cheadle, Bristol and Havant. 

Phil Gaffer, QFP, franchise sales and business development manager, Papa John’s confirms: “Last year was busy for new store openings as consumer demand drives our continued expansion.  We now have well over 400 franchised retail outlets open in locations across the UK and we are proactively recruiting for the best new franchisees keen to join us and taste a slice of the action!  Sales were excellent in December, ensuring our team’s efforts plus the hard work put in by our franchisees were well rewarded as we ended the year on a high! 

“Towards the end of last year, we also launched the new Papa John’s mobile app, which makes ordering more accessible and convenient,” continues Gaffer.  “The app is another example of Papa John’s commitment to supporting the businesses of our franchised network and there are plenty of additional initiatives coming up in 2019, all designed to keep customers coming back for more, so watch this space! 

“Our management team, complete with a few new faces further strengthens the expertise and support we offer our franchises and means we are all excited about what the New Year will bring.  We now have all the ingredients in place: the people, our ever-popular product, plus the processes to ensure that in 2019, there has never been a better time to invest in a Papa John’s franchise.”

As one of the largest pizza companies in the world, Papa John’s has opportunities for franchisees throughout the UK.  Help is provided with location selection and full turn-key opening of stores.  As a franchise, the Company supplies all the assistance needed to get your successful Papa John’s up and running.
