Papa Johns: Betrayal, Scandal And Dumpster Diving.

The INSANE Story of Papa John’s business by MagnatesMedia: Papa John’s franchise has over 5500 locations globally, revenues reported at over $2 billion dollars, and is one of the most successful pizza fast food chains in the world. And so it may be hard to believe that Papa John’s started out of a bar’s broom closet, that its founder resorted to dumpster diving in hopes of getting customers. This is the untold truth of Papa John’s Pizza business empire, and the founder who made it all happen… The Papa John’s story really began when a young 15-year-old kid by the name of John H. Schnatter got his first job washing dishes at a small Italian pizzeria known as Rocky’s Sub Pub. But John wasn’t content with just dish washing and set his sights on making pizzas from his first day. After months of hard work, the Fondrisi family who owned the restaurant allowed John to start occasionally preparing the pizza dough and tomato sauce, but they adamantly kept the honor of baking pizzas within the family. John was determined one day to run his own pizza business, but he’d have to wait quite a while to get the funding he needed. In fact, Papa John’s would actually begin out of a bar. And it’d be years before John could get the financing needed to create the first proper Papa John’s store. In this Papa Johns documentary, we follow the rise of the business, the very unconventional marketing strategies to get more customers, and the controversial twist in Papa John’s story. This business story is a rollercoaster of emotions - enjoy! (Produced by John Frazer. Co-written by John Frazer & L.D. Murphy).
