The Bangor opening marks the third Papa Johns restaurant to open in Northern Ireland in a year, as part of plans to launch 20 outlets across the region over the next decade
Pizza chain Papa Johns is creating 20 jobs with the opening of a new restaurant in Bangor as it continues to expand its presence across Northern Ireland.
The new outlet at 173 Clandeboye Road will open on Wednesday, November 11, offering collection and delivery services to customers across the area.
It marks the brand’s third restaurant opening in Northern Ireland in the past year and forms part of a franchise agreement with Rana Group, which will see 20 new Papa Johns restaurants open across the country over the next decade.
Grant Read, managing director of Papa Johns UK and Europe, said: “We're delighted to be bringing Papa Johns to Bangor as part of our ongoing expansion across Northern Ireland.
“This opening is another important step in our growth plans for the region and demonstrates our commitment to investing in local communities through new restaurants and job creation. We look forward to becoming part of the Bangor community and serving customers across the area.”
The restaurant will be operated by long-term Papa Johns franchise partner Amit Abhol (Rana).
He said: “We're thrilled to be bringing Papa Johns to Bangor and can't wait to welcome customers through our doors.
“It's an exciting time for Papa Johns in Northern Ireland, and we're proud to be creating new jobs and becoming part of the local community. We're looking forward to serving up our freshly made favourites to pizza lovers across Bangor.”
To mark the opening, customers can collect any large pizza for £10, while the first 100 customers through the doors on launch day will receive a free medium pizza.
