Pizza giant coming to Lancashire

Posted on June 26th, 2010

Ribby Hall Village and Lancashire’s Fylde Coast is benefiting from a £250,000 investment, when the world’s third largest pizza company opens it’s store on Thursday 1st July at the holiday village in Wrea Green.

Papa John’s Pizza, which has nearly 140 stores across the UK, has won the Pizza, Pasta and Italian Food Association’s Pizza Delivery Chain of the Year Award in four of the last six years. The opening has created jobs for eight local people, who have been recruited as pizzaiolos and store assistants.

Store Manager, Lucy Holland, is confident that Papa John’s award-winning pizzas will prove to be a big success with visitors to the Village, as well as residents in the surrounding area.

Lucy says: “We’re delighted to have secured Papa John’s at Ribby Hall Village. Papa John’s is famous for its ‘Better Ingredients, Better Pizza’ philosophy and I’m sure our customers will be able to taste the difference when they try our 100% fresh dough pizzas.

“This is going to be a rather special Papa John’s store as it feels more like a restaurant than a take away outlet. We have a seating area, a salad bar, and we will also be serving alcohol. We are looking forward to welcoming our first customers on Thursday.”

Papa John’s Pizza was founded in the USA in 1984 and now has more than 3400 stores in 29 countries.

Opening Times:

Monday-Thursday 12 – 9:30pm
