Papa John’s unveil another magnificent seven outlets in UK.
Papa John’s ended another landmark year for the company, by opening seven new stores across the UK. The global pizza franchise has more than 500 outlets in high streets up and down the country, with these latest editions opening their doors in Bridgend, Kenilworth, Melton Mowbray, Midsomer Norton, Warwick, Sheerness and Stanford-le-Hope.
Amit Pancholi, the company’s director of business development in the UK, said: “It’s been quite a year for Papa John’s, topping everything off by opening seven new stores. Our goal is to reach more and more customers wherever they are and whenever they want our pizzas.
“As an organisation, we have opened double digit stores across the UK this year, giving our brand even greater presence on the high street, as well as in non-traditional locations such as holiday resorts, leisure venues and more. In September we opened our 500th store in Ormskirk.
“And, as we celebrate that milestone in the UK, and the number of franchisees continue to grow, more employment opportunities are created at every level. For us, our people are the key ingredient in our recipe for success – excuse the pun. All new starters have full scope and use of our dedicated Pizza Academy training system. This contains a suite of training modules on various aspects of the business.
“It means, for example, anyone can join as a delivery driver, but map out a career path by acquiring the relevant skills and experience to become a team leader or store manager – and beyond. We now look forward to welcoming many more recruits of all ages and backgrounds to our team, as we develop the Papa John‘s brand even further across the UK.”
Those interested in running a high street franchise or non-traditional venue, will enjoy top-class support, comprehensive training and national marketing. As a franchisor, the Company supplies all the assistance needed to get a successful Papa John’s business up and running.
Papa John’s was founded in the United States in 1984, and now has over 5,000 stores across more than 40 international markets and territories. Papa John’s arrived in the UK 22 years ago.
