Papa John's Announces 2010 Development Incentive Program

Papa John's has made it easier for both new and existing franchisees to expand the 'Better Ingredients, Better Pizza' brand throughout the U.S. with the announcement today of an unprecedented U.S. Development Incentive Program. For qualifying restaurants opened in 2010, this best-in-class program features:

* No franchise fee ($25,000 value);

* Two Middleby-Marshall ovens, which may be purchased by the franchisee for $50 after operating for two years (a range in value of $20,000 - $30,000); and

* A reduced royalty rate for the first 12 months for on-time restaurant openings, including a 0% royalty rate for restaurants opened by June 2010.

'Given the continued uncertainty in the economy, we are excited to offer this program to help both existing and potential new franchisees grow within the Papa John's family,' said Jude Thompson, Papa John's President and Chief Operating Officer. 'We definitely are in a growth mode, and believe the program will help franchisees offer our 'Better Ingredients, Better Pizza' to more consumers throughout the country.'

The program is generally available for new U.S. unit development agreements signed by qualifying franchisees through November 2010, for new restaurant openings in 2010.
