New pizza Franchisee in Didcot for Papa John's
Leading pizza franchise, Papa John’s has opened its latest franchise store in the franchise territory of Didcot, Oxfordshire. The new pizza franchise outlet will be run by franchisee Bally Brar with the help of 15 locally recruited staff. Bally also runs the Abingdon franchise territory for Papa John’s and has been a franchisee since 2014.
“I have a background in the pizza industry, previously working as an area manager for a rival firm,” confirms Bally. “However, four years ago I was keen to purchase my own Papa John’s franchise and take advantage of the opportunities being created by the company’s rapid growth.”
Once he’d completed his franchise management training, Bally originally worked in the Berkhamsted store in Hertfordshire making pizzas for 6 weeks, prior to striking a deal with the former franchisee to buy the pizza franchise business. Bally ran the Berkhamsted franchise territory with his brother before they each decided to work on building their own portfolio of pizza franchise stores.
“The Papa John’s pizza franchise property team identified the location and found the property in the franchise territory of Didcot for me,” confirms Bally. “It is a thriving town known for its rail links to nearby Oxford and London and there are a number of new housing developments being created which all offer opportunities. It’s also close to my Abingdon store which is helpful for staff training and marketing.
“Papa John’s franchisee incentive scheme has been invaluable to help me open the new outlet. Deals on equipment, marketing and reduced franchise fees all mean I can focus on operations, growing local brand awareness and growing sales. With the new BBQ pizza range just launched plus all the fun of the summer football ahead, I am really looking forward to delivering in my franchise territory of Didcot!”
As one of the largest pizza franchise companies in the world, Papa John’s has franchise territories available throughout the UK. Help is provided with franchise location selection and full turn-key opening of the pizza franchise stores. As a franchise, the Company supplies all the assistance needed to get your successful Papa John’s franchise store up and running.
