Papa John’s franchisee grows multi-unit business by opening in Perth, Scotland

Store number four “is a great new spot for us”, Nazim Vadiwala says

Pizza brand Papa John’s has opened its first store in Perth, Scotland. 

The new outlet, which employs 20 staff, will be run by multi-unit franchisee Nazim Vadiwala.

Nazim, who became a Papa John’s franchisee in 2018, explains: “I also run Papa John’s in Edinburgh, Whitley Bay and opened in Clydebank earlier this year. 

“Perth is a great new spot for us and we’re looking forward to delivering all the fun and great taste of Papa John’s pizza to the community for families and friends to enjoy.”

“The key to my success opening multi-unit stores is my team. They’re the strength of the business. 

“I also have a very experienced area manager, Syed Salman, to oversee operations. Without great people, there is no business. 
 
“I’ve also had support from Papa John’s central team, who are always on hand to answer any questions and supply national marketing support by constantly coming up with the type of new and innovative promotional campaigns that only a proven, global brand can provide.”
 
Nazim previously worked for a rival pizza company for 10 years.

He adds: “For the opening of the new store itself, I was able to take advantage of the generous Papa John’s incentive scheme, which has been super helpful and a valuable benefit as we look to expand. 

“I’m really excited to be planning to open further stores delivering great pizza in the next few years. 

“As well as growing my portfolio, this will also create many new job opportunities in the region too.”
