Several Bristol branches of Papa Johns have closed suddenly, giving no sign of when they will reopen. Other Papa Johns restaurants, which are all franchisee-owned and independently operated, have also closed in Cardiff, Newport and Hereford among others.
Staff who have been working at the branches, 20 in total, claim they were informed they no longer had a job via text and that it would take eight weeks for them to receive the wages they are owed. The restaurants are supposed to only be closed temporarily but there is no known date for when they will reopen.
All the closed branches are owned by the same franchisee, and as well as the Bristol branches there are others in Stoke-on-Trent and Chorlton, in Manchester.
