The Papa Johns in your neighborhood may soon close its doors.
In February, Papa Johns reported it planned to close 300 stores across North America.
Now, a new financial report released by Papa Johns reveals that the pizza chain is following through on its plans.
The filing revealed that Papa Johns has already closed 44 stores across 17 states.
Fox Business had the full scoop of Papa Johns’ woes:
Papa Johns is following through on its plan to close about 300 North American stores, with dozens of locations shuttering in the first quarter – primarily in core Sun Belt states.
A recent analysis of Papa Johns financial filings by Fast Company found that 44 stores closed across 17 states, with the highest concentration of closures in Texas, California, Florida and Arizona.
Multiple location closures have also been identified in Michigan, North Carolina and Virginia.
The pizza brand first announced in February that hundreds of underperforming restaurants would cease operations by the end of 2027, describing the locations as being primarily franchise-owned, more than a decade old and generating less than $600,000 in annual sales volumes (AUVs).
“We believe these closures will further strengthen the system, increasing AUVs by at least 3% and improve franchisee health by allowing franchisees to reallocate resources towards operational excellence in their remaining restaurants and open units in priority markets,” Papa Johns CFO Ravi Thanawala previously said.
Fast Company provided a list of the locations that have already been impacted:
