Papa John’s also saw the most quarterly store unit growth in 20 years
Papa John’s International Inc. reported their seventh straight quarter of growth Thursday, with a 26% increase in North American same-store sales for the first quarter ended March 28. The growth was driven by menu innovation including the continuing popularity of the Papadias and the new Epic Stuffed Crust Pizza, introduced in December.
“Papa John s Q1 same-store sales in North America and across our international footprint significantly outpaced our larger pizza industry peers,” Papa john’s CEO Rob Lynch said during Thursday’s earnings call. Over the last 18 months, our strategy, which is focused on innovating up against all of our business platforms, including our culinary offerings, our consumer-facing and back-of-house technologies, our customer experience and our delivery capabilities has been a significant contributor to our sustainable long-term comp sales and margin growth.”
