Leading pizza franchise, Papa John’s, has announced new franchisee, Waleed Saleem, has taken over the Ayr store and he has ambitions for multi-site development for more Papa John’s in Scotland as part of the Company’s franchisee incentive scheme.

Waleed who was previously an area supervisor at a rival pizza delivery firm said: “I chose Papa John’s because of there is so much opportunity to grow in the future; my ultimate goal is to open ten pizza stores in Scotland and Papa John’s can deliver on that! In addition, the product quality is the best around. Papa John’s only uses the freshest ingredients to create a better pizza and this concept is proving particularly popular. Backed by national advertising plus my local marketing, there really is a fantastic opportunity to generate some great sales in Scotland and I’m excited about the future.

“The franchisee incentive deal currently offered by Papa John’s was really helpful with my first store opening in Ayr. Deals on equipment, discounts on franchise fees plus help with marketing is just what you need at the beginning,” continued Waleed. “I have also been impressed by the training provided. I’ve been in the fast food industry for almost five years and yet I learned a lot which has also helped me train my staff too. From the first day of opening we had plenty of great sales and my staff were ready!”

Papa John’s has recently launched its new incentive scheme to help franchisees in the early stages of growing their businesses which includes discounted royalty fees, contribution towards marketing spend plus free equipment for new stores opening our the enterprise development zones of the Midlands, Wales, The North West, North East and Scotland. These great deals are all on the table for franchises opening in 2015, so first come first served!

Papa John’s is one of the largest pizza companies in the world and has opportunities for franchisees throughout the UK. Help is also provided with location selection and shop fit-out.
