The pizza franchise has secured a development agreement to open its first two Georgia locations in the Alpharetta and Cumming areas, with plans for additional expansion throughout Atlanta.

One of Todd Penegor’s first priorities after being named Papa Johns CEO in August 2024 was to optimize the menu to focus on core offerings while “paving the way for more impactful products.”

The pizza segment is facing significant headwinds as inflation and the rise of third-party delivery platforms erode operator margins and customer loyalty.

Papa Johns reported its worst quarterly performance in years as North American comparable store sales fell 6.4%, driven by lower customer acquisition and smaller average order sizes.
