Papa John’s opens franchise store in south London

Streatham is the location for latest new-look outlet

Pizza franchise Papa John’s has opened its latest franchised outlet in Streatham, south London featuring the company’s latest store design.

Phil Gaffer, franchise sales and business development manager at Papa John’s UK, explains: “Streatham is one of several new store openings in the UK.

“Like the other new outlets, it has an updated look which we have been rolling out gradually. It’s more modern, fun and welcoming, with one or two regional touches so customers feel right at home.”

The new décor is just one example of how Papa John’s supports its UK franchisees, according to Phil, who adds: “Behind the scenes, our national and local marketing teams, product research and development, finance department and site selection and construction teams all work together to offer franchisees full turnkey opening of new stores. 

“As we continue to expand in the UK, we’re on the lookout for new franchisees hungry to join our Papa John’s family and realise the opportunity that becoming a multi-unit franchisee offers.

“For potential new franchisees, I’m currently running virtual discovery meetings on a one-to-one basis, which is the first step in ‘getting to know you’ and a chance to ask questions. 

“I’m also running virtual guest visits every month for potential franchisees to talk to key members of the leadership team until we are able to resume in-person visits.

“These have proved popular, as we can demonstrate the support the company offers to those looking to set up their own Papa John’s portfolio.”

Papa John’s is looking for franchisees based in the north west, north east, Nottinghamshire and the south west.
