Multi-unit franchisees and husband and wife team Mandy Kaur and Chan Singh now run eight Papa John’s units with the help of their son Jashan who works as acting regional manager.
A family franchise has opened a new Papa John’s in Wakefield, Yorkshire and the new Wakefield Papa John’s will create 10 new jobs in the region.
Mandy and Chan joined Papa John’s as franchisees in 2008 and also opened new stores in Timperley, Manchester and Castleford earlier this year. This franchising family now have an appetite for expansion, Mandy Kaur explains: “Now our own children have grown up, the opportunity for us to expand our Papa John’s franchise was too good to refuse. Our son Jashan has now joined the family firm too, looking after overall regional operations.
“For us, Papa John’s is one big happy family, and our success is all down to our team. We are proud to have been able to promote three of our long-standing team members to become area managers and we have another area manager currently in training. It’s great to see people excel and gain new skills and also that we can provide them with more opportunities to further their careers as we grow. Our goal is to open more Papa John’s over the next two years so there will be plenty more chances for promotion!”
