Planet Ice just got tastier with Papa John’s Peterborough opening

Leading pizza franchise, Papa John’s, has announced Planet Ice, the largest ice leisure brand in Europe, has added a new Papa John’s in its Peterborough ice rink. Now Planet Ice’s coolest customers can enjoy the tasty combination of skating plus fresh, hot pizza in venues around the UK, including Milton Keynes, Uttoxeter, Coventry, Basingstoke and now Peterborough.

Ambitious

Andreas Petrakas, brand business development manager at Planet Ice, explains: “We first introduced Papa John’s in 2015 and pizza has now been fully integrated into our proposition in five key venues, proving particularly popular.

“Customers can buy tickets to skate and eat, which is a great everyday offering and also goes down well for special pizza parties for birthdays or a family evening out watching one of our exciting ice hockey matches.”

Anthony Round, business development manager at Papa John’s, says: “We are delighted to be able to bring our top quality pizza to a wider audience and be associated with such a well respected leisure brand - it’s a recipe for success.”

Papa John’s was founded in the USA in 1984 and there are now over 320 stores across the UK and over 4,900 stores in more than 40 international markets.

Papa John’s is the only branded pizza chain to use only 100 per cent fresh dough and the company’s unique tomato sauce is made from the best Californian tomatoes, picked and packed from vine to can in just six hours. Incentive deals give franchisees a helping hand at the outset to ensure they will be quick to taste success. They can include marketing support, equipment and reduced royalty payments.
