Papa John’s, a pizza chain based in the United States, has collaborated with PJP Investments Group to expand its presence in India with the addition of 650 new restaurants by 2033. The initial restaurant is set to launch in Bangalore next year, with further openings planned in other South Indian cities and eventually across the country.

Papa John’s has recognized India as an attractive market for global expansion due to its vast size, growing middle class, and increasing disposable income.

“Papa Johns global momentum continues, in partnership with seasoned, successful restaurant operators like PJP Investments,” said Amanda Clark, Papa Johns’ chief international and development officer.

“PJP Investments first partnered with Papa Johns to expand into the UAE in 2005. We are excited that their commitment to the flawless execution of Papa Johns high standards is now being brought to India.”

PJP Investments Group, which now owns over 100 Papa Johns restaurants in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan, plans to launch the first Papa Johns store in Iraq next year.

Last year, Papa John’s announced plans to expand in China, with 1350 shops set to open by 2040 in collaboration with FountainVest Partners.

According to Papa Johns, the brand had more than 5700 outlets in around 50 countries and territories as of last December.
