Papa John’s family franchise has Nottingham covered

Sukhy Bains went about changing the fact that no Papa John’s was able to deliver to his own home in Nottingham

The new store opening in Carlton, Nottingham, makes it multi-unit franchisee, Sukhy Bains, ninth Papa John’s.

Sukhy said: “I joined Papa John’s in 2010 and with the help of my wife Kam and three daughters have built the business over the years. We live in Nottingham, but no Papa John’s was able to deliver to our own home, so we went about changing that! The new Carlton store is close to our other stores and now means we pretty much have the Nottingham area covered!

“The key to our success is that we enjoy working together as a family. We also have a great team of people, many of whom have been with us for a long time. It’s hard work but fun at the same time and we love delivering the finest Papa John’s pizza to the communities around our stores.

“However, for us, it’s more than great pizza, it’s about a family gathering, memorable birthday, work celebration or a great meal. We want to ensure our customers always have the best ingredients for every occasion!

“We have ambitious plans to open more Papa John’s over the next few years. It means we can provide more employment opportunities and also ensure that more people in Nottingham get to enjoy Papa John’s pizza made with our signature sauce, innovative toppings and our original fresh dough in even more locations.”

Amit Pancholi, business development director of Papa John’s UK said: “Sukhy and his family are an inspiration to any aspiring multi-unit franchisee. They have already made a significant contribution to growing the Papa John’s brand in the UK and we look forward to supporting them as they develop their portfolio of stores further, making Papa John’s pizza easily accessible to even more customers across the nation.”
