Lytham St Annes Papa John’s is Set to Deliver
Published: 30 October 2015
On the 8 October 2015: Leading pizza franchise, Papa John’s, has announced its latest Lytham St Annes store opening is now set to deliver. Steve Mullarkey who joined Papa John’s as a franchisee in 2013 will run Lytham St Annes along with his four other Papa John’s: Warrington, Preston, Chester and Prestwich.
Steve Mullarkey comments: “I previously managed a business in St Annes so am familiar with the thriving North West seaside town. In 18 months this will be our fifth Papa John’s and that is exciting progress! Trade is good, so we also aim to open two more Papa John’s before the end of the year.
“Papa John’s special franchisee incentive deals have been a great help with development costs,” continues Steve. “In addition, I can’t fault the training and support provided by head office. The recent national TV advertising has also grown brand awareness and I’m getting calls from customers who’ve ‘just been tempted by the TV ad’. This combined with our local promotions, lunch offers and social media campaigns, has so far been a real recipe for success.
“However, I couldn’t run the franchise without the hard work and enthusiasm of my team,” confirms Steve. “I am lucky to have some superb managers who have recruited and retained some great staff who are as passionate as I am about serving-up top quality pizza to the local communities around our stores!”
Papa John's is one of the largest pizza companies in the world and has opportunities for franchisees throughout the UK. Papa John’s is currently running an incentive scheme to help franchisees in the early stages of growing their businesses which includes discounted royalty fees, contribution towards marketing spend plus free equipment for new stores opening our the enterprise development zones of the Midlands, Wales, The North West, North East and Scotland. These great deals are available for openings in 2015, so first come first served!
