Leading Pizza franchise, Papa John’s, has announced new franchisee Surinder Manesh has officially opened the Wellingborough store in Northamptonshire. Entrepreneur Surinder Manesh now employs a store manager plus around 20 people in the outlet supplying Papa John’s pizza, renown for its ‘better ingredients, better pizza’ philosophy.

“I have always loved the Papa John’s product and decided that one day, I would like my own Papa John’s,” explains Surinder Manesh. “So far, I have been really impressed. The company’s training has been excellent and the head office staff have been supportive to help get the Wellingborough Papa John’s up and running.

“Since opening we have had a great response from the local community and sales are very good,” continues Surinder Manesh. “I am very much looking forward to continuing to build on our initial success by growing our customer base over the coming months and years.”

Papa John’s is currently offering incentives for franchisees for new stores opening in Wales, The Midlands, North East, The North West and Scotland including a royalty break for stores opening before the end of 2014. The Company will also supply deals on equipment, plus marketing spend for the store opening launch. These deals are only available for 2014 and are limited, so first come first served!
