10 February 2020: Leading pizza franchise, Papa John’s, has announced business partners Sukhbir Gill and Lakhwinder Singh (Lucky), have opened a new franchised Papa John’s in Runcorn, Cheshire and taken over a further store in the region. This brings the number of Papa John’s they run up to 12 stores in the North West now including Runcorn.

Lucky explains:  “Being multi-unit operators has always been our goal.   It makes complete business sense. Managing stores located near each other means we can capitalise on our local marketing strength plus recruitment and staff training is easier too. Our people have more opportunity for promotion within our outlets and we know happy staff make great pizza and that means very happy customers!”

“We joined Papa John’s from a rival pizza firm where we worked for eight years. The Papa John’s franchise was attractive because it is growing so quickly and so there are many opportunities for expansion in the UK. At our previous firm, there really was no-where to go and so we were looking for a new opportunity. 

“In addition, there is no question that Papa John’s pizza is the best on the high street!  We only use the finest, freshest ingredients for a better flavour which really “tops” the competition.  So far, the feedback has been excellent which is great news for building and expanding our customer base!”

Papa John’s is currently recruiting for more enthusiastic franchisees.  As one of the largest pizza companies in the world, Papa John’s has opportunities for multi-unit franchisees throughout the UK.  Help is provided with location selection, growth incentives, 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.
