Papa John’s Plans New Global Headquarters in Atlanta Area

Louisville, Ky. — Papa John’s International, Inc. plans to open a new global headquarters in metropolitan Atlanta, where menu innovation; marketing; customer experience; HR; diversity, equity and inclusion; communications; and development functions will be located. IT, supply chain and legal teams will remain in the Louisville, Ky., headquarters. Papa John’s also maintains a headquarters office outside of London where its international operations are managed.

The opening of the new Atlanta location and related organizational changes are expected to be completed by summer 2021 and do not affect Papa John’s company-owned or franchised stores or its nationwide network of quality control centers (QCCs).

“We’re thrilled to open a headquarters office in such an energetic and diverse region,” says Rob Lynch, president and CEO. “Metro Atlanta’s deep talent pool and its world-class airport connecting us to the domestic and international markets that are key to our brand’s future will accelerate our long term growth. Atlanta is also our largest corporate-owned restaurant market and the location of our newest and most sophisticated QCC. The Louisville headquarters — Papa John’s home for 36 years — remains essential to the company’s success and we look forward to continuing to be a great corporate partner in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.”

The company is currently in discussions with a number of potential office locations throughout the metro Atlanta area and expects to complete the selection process by the end of 2020.

Papa John’s International, Inc. first opened in 1984 and is headquartered in Louisville, Ky., with more than 5,300 restaurants in 48 countries and territories as of June 28, 2020. For more information, visit www.PapaJohns.com.
