Seven new franchisees have signed up to multi-site development plans with Papa John’s, as a result of the pizza franchise’s enterprise incentive scheme offer, launched last February.
The franchisees are set to open 20 outlets throughout the north and Midlands over the next six months.
As part of its offer Papa John’s reduced its franchise fee and gave away a top of the range oven and electronic point of sale equipment worth £30,000, plus £10,000 worth of marketing spend to franchised stores opening during 2013 within designated regions.
“Our focus is on growth and we aim to deliver on our promise of having 600 UK stores over the next 10 years,” Anthony Round, Papa John’s business development manager, says.
“The franchisee incentive scheme we launched at The National Franchise Exhibition at Birmingham’s NEC in February was designed to encourage enthusiastic franchisees to become part of our success story in specific, designated regional zones in the north, Midlands and Scotland.
“The scheme has been particularly well received and represents an exciting opportunity to join a leading franchise brand.
“We are looking forward to launching further incentives for franchisees wanting to open outlets in 2014 and we will be actively encouraging ambitious individuals who are interested in becoming multiple store operators.”
