Papa John's Franchise

Pizza

AAPL Price Today by TradingView
We didn??t start our business in a boardroom. We started it in a broom closet. Back in 1984, our Founder, John Schnatter (that??s Papa John to you) sold his beloved muscle car to buy pizza‐making equipment. Armed with only an oven and a love for making quality pizza, John opened the very first Papa John??s in the crowded broom closet of his father??s tavern. Over the years, this passion for making better pizza informed every decision and pizza we made...because the last thing we wanted to be was a pizza company. So instead of chopping vegetables with machines, we chop them by hand every day. Instead of investing in gimmicks, we invest in fresh ingredients. And we pile them high on our fresh, never-frozen original dough. Today, we??ve surrounded ourselves with like-minded people with a passion for making better pizza, including franchisees, suppliers, athletes, pizza makers, and farmers we??ve known for over 30 years. Like our friend Dino in California - "he grows the best tomatoes. In the end, John??s desire to create a better pizza built more than a pizza company...he built a pizza family.At Papa John's we have a simple formula for success: Focus on one thing and try to do it better than anyone else. By keeping the Papa John's menu simple, we are able to focus on the quality of our product by using only superior-quality ingredients. Our commitment to quality can be seen in all of our ingredients, from our fresh (never frozen) water-purified traditional dough, to our vine-ripened fresh-packed tomato sauce (which goes from the vine to the can in an average of six hours), to our cheese made with 100% mozzarella and many other premium ingredients. The total investment necessary to begin operation of a standard Papa John??s franchise is $130,120 to $844,420. This includes up to $73,920 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliate. The total investment necessary to begin operation of a non-traditional Papa John??s franchise is $26,500 to $388,920. This includes up to $56,420 that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliate.Seeking new franchise units Worldwide.Better Ingredients, Better Pizza.      #64 in Canada's Top franchises.#55 on Franchise Rankings.com#146 in Franchise 500 for 2020.#127 in Franchise 500 for 2021.
