Papa Johns Closing 300 Restaurants-Number in Missouri Uncertain

Yet another iconic brand has announced a large number of closures. Papa Johns has announced that they will be closing 300 locations, but the exact number that will close their doors in Missouri is unclear.

I have been able to confirm this news from multiple sources including Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Dive. Papa Johns says it will close at least 300 restaurants and will cut 7% of their corporate workforce. This was apparently revealed in an earnings call that just happened today. The reports say that underperforming restaurants that are franchise-owned will be the locations most likely to shut their doors.

How many Missouri Papa Johns will be closing?

The short answer is no one knows at this point. If they do know, they're not talking. The announcements of the Papa Johns closures did not list any specific locations or provide any states that would see restaurants shut down. As this is a developing story, it will be updated once we learn which local Missouri Papa Johns will disappear.
