Pizza chain Papa Johns is to shut 43 “under-performing” restaurants across the UK – including several in the Yorkshire region.
The takeaway business confirmed plans to axe the “underperforming” locations after launching a review at the start of the year. Those closing in Yorkshire include branches in Barnsley, Doncaster, Harrogate, Meanwood in Leeds and Rotherham. Sites in Darlington, Middlesbrough and Scunthorpe will also be shutting down. The firm said it will close the restaurants by mid-May following a consultation process, Papa Johns International said.
It also said it will look at the development of new types of sites beyond traditional restaurants, such as expanding into holiday parks, and is set to “announce other large retail partners in the coming months”. Mr Phylactou added: “While this is a difficult decision, closing these underperforming locations will give us the opportunity to invest back into the right locations with the right partners for long-term growth.
