At least 10 Papa John's sites temporarily closed

At least 10 Papa Johns sites in the UK have been temporarily closed "while some issues are resolved", according to the group.

Local news outlets have reported that three sites in Bristol have closed, as well as three restaurants in South Wales, and venues in Worcester, Hereford, Guildford, Plymouth.

A statement from the group said: "Papa Johns restaurants in the UK are 100% franchisee owned. Papa Johns has been helping the franchise owner of these independently operated restaurants through a difficult period but these locations now need to be closed temporarily while some issues are resolved. Papa Johns has important operating standards to protect franchisees, team members and customers. If these standards are ever compromised, additional measures need to be taken that can impact a restaurant staying open.

"Papa Johns is not the employer of the team members at these locations. The franchise owner of these locations is responsible for paying its team members. Nevertheless, in order to be supportive, Papa Johns will take steps to ensure all employees are compensated for their time worked. The independent franchise owner of these locations will need to address any remaining issues. At this point the timeline for reopening has not been determined. We are hoping to come to a resolution quickly for the benefit of all involved."
