In a continued partnership with HB Restaurant Group, the brand expects to open around 49 new locations.
The news comes following significant growth over the last few months due to an increased demand for takeaway as customers continue wanting to stay at home rather than eat out. In the second quarter, the brand has seen North American same-store sales rise by 28 per cent.
Amanda Clark, Papa John’s Chief Development Officer has commented: “It starts with sales and getting the positive momentum going. And the next part of that life cycle is really development. We are still outnumbered by our key competition – for me, that is something very exciting. There’s a huge runway for our existing franchisees in the system and new franchisees that want the opportunity for growth.”
The 49 new locations are expected to be across Philadelphia and southern New Jersey.
