Papa Johns to close 43 stores including Southport
Papa Johns is to close 43 stores including the Southport branch on Garrick Parade.
Papa Johns UK managing director Chris Phylactou said: "Our priority is our team members, who will be fully supported throughout this process.
"Our goal is to work with impacted team members and attempt to find redeployment opportunities where available."
The closures are all in England and extend from Harrogate, North Yorkshire to St Helens, Merseyside, Billericay, Essex and Eastbourne, East Sussex.
All of them were "underperforming locations that are no longer financially viable", the company said.
The group had previously said it planned "strategic closures" in order to free up money for investment and improving profitability at its remaining UK sites.
