Papa John's Shrinks U.S. Footprint as It Accelerates Closures

Papa John’s is accelerating a plan to close about 300 underperforming restaurants by end-2027, with 44 locations shut in Q1 2026 across 17 states (mostly franchised and more than a decade old) to boost profitability and franchisee health. Management says closures target restaurants averaging under $600,000 in annual sales and will be offset by cost savings and a stronger supply chain, with roughly 200 closings expected in 2026 to concentrate resources in priority markets.

Papa John's to Shutter 300 Locations in Cost-Cutting Push to Spur Growth

Papa John's will shutter 300 restaurants by end-2027 as part of a cost-cutting push to boost growth, with 200 closures planned by year-end and the rest by 2027.

The company also cut its corporate workforce by 7%, to about 104,000 employees as of March 2025.
