John Schnatter Launches Save Papa John’s Website

Papa John’s founder John Schnatter has created his own website. Save Papa Johns offers a brief statement from the founder, his biography, a list of developments in his ongoing feud with the brand and links to news coverage positioned in his favor.

Schnatter has been clashing with the brand since he stepped down as CEO. Not long after his resignation, he admitted that the move was a mistake and has since launched a lawsuit against the brand.

“I am Papa John. I built Papa John's from the ground up and remain its largest shareholder… The board wants to silence me. So this is my website, and my way to talk to you," the website reads.

A spokesperson for the brand stated that the brand is, “not, nor should we be, dependent on one person. Papa John's is 120,000 corporate and franchisee team members around the world. Stakeholders, including customers, franchisees, employees, and investors, have expressed strong support for the actions we have taken to separate our brand from Mr. Schnatter. No matter what John does, he will not be able to distract from the inappropriate comments he made."
