Franchising

Its UK operator Lemon Pepper Holdings opened its first restaurant in London and has since expanded to a variety of locations.

The chain already has seven stores in the country, six of which were opened amidst the pandemic.

To celebrate the milestone, the chain is selling a limited-edition “hyper realistic” pizza cake.

The first two stores will be in Vilnius.

It plans to have 23 more restaurants over the next five years.

The chain continues its multi-unit franchisee strategy.   Papa John’s announced new store openings in Totton in Hampshire, Southsea in Essex and a further outlet in Southampton.

The drive-thru site will also be the brand’s fifth restaurant in Wales.

The chain has been open in wanting more sites with the channel.

The 4,500 sq ft restaurant spans over two floors will feature 150 covers.

A new click and collect service was also launched.

This is the chain’s 67th UK store.

It also slated to open about 100 company-owned shops in the next three years.

More than 170 locations across Latin America, Spain and Portugal are also planned.

This is now the chain’s 65th UK outlet.

The chain says Europe will be a vital part of their growth.

The 3,500 sq ft location will open later this summer.
