The state-of-the-art dough plant and quality control centre provides the supply and logistics of one half of the Papa John’s ‘Better Ingredients. Better Pizza’ pledge and has the capacity to serve more than double the number of existing stores.

In line with its rapid expansion Papa John’s Pizza UK is looking to recruit ambitious franchise owners with the potential and ambition to take on new single or multiple Papa John’s stores in the UK.

Kalpesh Patel, who runs the Southend and Basildon franchise territory, said: “We chose Papa John's over other franchises because the company has a well-established business model, a good relationship with the banks, and most importantly, a proven track record of success.”

A series of informal Papa John’s Open Days will be taking place in various locations nationwide throughout 2011, giving those who are interested a chance to find out more about the franchise opportunities available.
