FRANCHISE UK
Raheel Choudhary, franchise owner of the Tower Bridge store, says: “We are delighted that John visited our store as part of the international celebrations.

“The journey of how he turned his dream for his first true love - pizza - into reality is truly inspirational, with him selling his prized car to buy his first set of restaurant equipment and subsequently building the company into a global phenomenon with more than 4,000 stores in 34 countries across the world.

“It was great to see him at our store interacting with Papa John’s fans.”

FANTASTIC TIME
John Schnatter comments: “I’ve had a fantastic time visiting the UK.

“It was great to see all the PJ fans outside the Tower Bridge store and I hoped they all enjoyed the pizza.”
