Papa John’s Announces Plans to Open New Global HQ in Atlanta

Pizza delivery company Papa John’s International has announced plans to open a new global headquarters in the Metro Atlanta area that will bring an estimated 200 jobs to the city. The chain will move most of its operations to Atlanta from its current Louisville headquarters.

The pizza company will relocate its menu innovation; marketing; customer experience; HR; diversity, equity and inclusion; communications; and development divisions to Atlanta. The company’s IT, supply chain, and legal teams will remain in the Louisville. Papa John’s also maintains a headquarters office outside of London, where its international operations are managed.

“Shortly after setting a new strategic direction for Papa John’s late last year, we began to assess the optimal corporate organization to support our restaurants and our brand’s long-term growth,” said Rob Lynch, president & CEO at Papa John’s. “With strong momentum and our potential expanding every day, we are investing in capabilities for future innovation and global growth, improving efficiencies, and better aligning our organization around the strategies that are driving our near- and long-term success.”

Papa John’s is currently in discussions with a number of potential office locations throughout Metro Atlanta and expects to complete the selection process by the end of 2020.
