Pizza franchise, Papa John’s, has opened its newest store at the Bunn Leisure Family Resort, Selsey, West Sussex.
Owned by Cove Communities, Bunn Leisure’s south coast resort is a multi-award winning, premier lifestyle holiday park with activities and entertainment for all the family. Papa John’s has now joined the menu of extensive facilities at Selsey, which include a mile-long beach, nature reserve, swimming pool and leisure complex, plus, many outdoor sports, bowling, funfair, waterfront arcade and a visiting circus.
Neil Ainsworth, head of commercial at Cove Communities explains: “For many people not travelling abroad this summer, our holiday parks are a great chance getaway. A range of accommodation set in stunning locations is designed for safe, family-friendly relaxation and fun where everyone can do as much or as little as they choose. We are already welcoming many first-time visitors as well as our regulars who come back to enjoy the Bunn Leisure staycation experience year after year.
“We were looking for a brand to add value and match the professionalism of what we offer but also a little of the fun factor too! As a major player, Papa John’s top-quality pizza is well known and liked, and the team were really receptive to help create the type of operation which would suit our park. That flexibility and ability to fulfil our requirements means our visitors can arrive, relax and enjoy, and now have the treat of Papa John’s right on their doorstep!”

Our customer-focused team can provide flexible options to suit, as well as supply design expertise, help with store fit-out and training in order to deliver all the ingredients necessary to set up a successful on-site Papa John’s.
