Award Winning Franchisee Opens New Papa John’s in Sunbury-on-Thames

09 September 2019

Leading pizza franchise, Papa John’s, has announced that its Franchise Owner of the Year (for five stores or less) for 2019, Abid Hussain, has opened a new Papa John’s in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey.

Abid who was officially recognised for his achievement at Papa John’s biggest ever UK franchise conference held in Birmingham earlier this year, has now opened the store which will be run with the help of around 20 locally recruited staff.

Abid Hussain who also runs Papa John’s in Bedminster (Bristol), Eastleigh, Fareham, Newbury and Taunton confirms: “Sunbury-on-Thames is a great London location for us.  The village is located on the River Thames between Weybridge and East Molesey and there are many families and commuters living in the area.  We are now looking forward to delivering on our promise of: “BETTER INGREDIENTS. BETTER PIZZA” which means we only use the finest ingredients and fresh dough – never frozen - for a better natural flavour.

“I am really excited about the new store as Papa John’s has updated the look and feel of the layout and the marketing team has worked hard on the branding and the result is fabulous and fun!  I know the enhanced messaging will appeal to customers and they will appreciate the warm welcome we offer!”

Prior to joining Papa John’s, Abid worked in advertising and marketing in London and was also a consultant in a web firm.  He continues: “I have plans to open more stores in the future as the best sites become available.  I am looking forward to growing my portfolio of outlets with the help of my great team plus the support of Papa John’s right behind us.”

Papa John’s is actively recruiting for more enthusiastic franchisees hungry for success.

As one of the largest pizza companies in the world, Papa John’s has opportunities for franchisees throughout the UK.  Help is provided with location selection and full turn-key opening of stores.  As a franchise, the Company supplies all the assistance needed to get your successful Papa John’s up and running.
