"Little things give meaning to what we do and we are pleased to help those who are less fort unate in our local community, in any small way we can"


Papa John's


For Gurminder “Barny” Bains and his wife Tina, the high-quality reputation of Papa John's takeaway pizza, as well as its standing in the community, was persuasive. He says: “We joined Papa John’s as


franchisees eight years ago. We employ some good managers to run our stores, as I still work full-time at my day job in logistics and Tina has a full-time job too. “We were keen to build a joint business


together for the future, within a growing industry. Everyone’s got to eat and so food seemed a good option! We had tried Papa John’s pizza and knew the quality was outstanding. The company’s focus on ‘better ingredients, better pizza’ means only


the best and freshest ingredients are used for a natural fl avour, including fresh dough – never frozen. It simply tastes better! For this reason, it was easy to see why the company was growing at such a rate and we wanted to become part of that team. Over the years, our success has meant we have also been able to put something back. “Once a week we work with the Sikh


Temple and set up in Town Hall Square supplying free food to the homeless. In a typical evening we can give pizza out to around 130 people. A number of our staff join us as regular volunteers too. We also support young carers in Wokingham, providing free food for events. These little


things give meaning to what we do and we are pleased to help those who are less fortunate in our local community, in any small way we can.” Phil Gaffer, Papa John’s franchise sales and business development manager, explains: “Our theme, ‘Better Together’, was fi rmly cemented at our biggest ever UK franchise conference in February by ensuring franchise store managers were invited to the event, as well as franchisees, for the fi rst time this year. Store managers are integral to the success of our franchised outlets across the UK and so it is important to involve them in learning about our strategy and goals for the future.”
