A Tough Slice for Papa John’s in the UK

Papa John’s, one of the world’s most recognized pizza chains, has announced the closure of 74 stores across the United Kingdom, following a substantial £21.8 million pre-tax loss for the year ending December 2024. The move marks one of the biggest operational shakeups for the American pizza brand since it entered the UK market over two decades ago.
