Family Franchisees Open New Papa Johns in Sleaford

A family franchise has opened a new Papa Johns in Sleaford, Lincolnshire brining 20 new jobs to the local community. The new store was officially opened yesterday by the Mayor of Sleaford, Councillor Anthony Brand.

Mayor of Sleaford, Councillor Anthony Brand commented: ‘I was delighted to be asked to open Sleaford’s newest Papa Johns. As mayor, it’s always great to see restaurants and businesses creating new jobs in the borough for members of the local community.’

Kam Bains and husband Sukhy joined Papa Johns in 2011 and now successfully run 17 Papa Johns stores with their four children the help of their dedicated team.

Kam and Sukhy Bains explain: “It’s a real family business. Both ourselves and children have gained extensive experience in the hospitality industry working with Papa Johns. Starting with one store over 10 years ago, and today opening our 17th is such an achievement and reflection of our hard work.’

“We thought Sleaford was the ideal location for a new Papa Johns as it’s a vibrant town, but with limited pizza options - and we felt local people deserved the best!  The unit in Lincoln Road has been fitted out with a new store design to create a fresh look.  Customers can even watch their pizzas being made, which is great fun.  It was wonderful to meet the Councillor Anthony Brand and so many people in the community at our grand opening today.

“We have a strong relationship with the Papa Johns head office team, which gets even better as the years go on.  We are supported by everyone in construction, marketing and operations who help us run our stores successfully every day and make the process of opening new stores as smooth as possible.

“When it comes to the menu, Papa Johns is always cooking up brilliant new ideas.  For example, the plant-based range has been hugely popular, and our customers always comment on the great selection of vegan choices.  We are also particularly excited about some new product launches in the pipeline.  If I hint at ‘hot and spicy’ it’s sure to get taste buds tingling!

“The Sleaford launch is a step in our goal to open 20 Papa Johns. We look forward to sharing our great pizza with the local community.  There’s nothing better than freshly cooked pizza enjoyed with friends and family and now we are ready to deliver to people of Sleaford!”

Papa Johns welcomes applications from potential franchisees interested in running a multi-unit franchise or opening up in a ‘non-traditional’ location, such as a holiday resort, sports stadium or other leisure venue.  Papa Johns offers incentives in addition to world-class support, comprehensive training and national marketing.  As a franchisor, Papa Johns supplies all the assistance needed to get your successful Papa Johns up and running.
