Interesting Fact: Papa John’s Pizza is the third largest take-out and delivery pizza restaurant chain in the United States, behind Pizza Hut and Domino’s Pizza.

History: In 1983, “Papa” John Schnatter delivered his last campus pizza, picked up his business degree from Ball State University, and went back to Jeffersonville, Indiana. There, at age 22, he knocked down the broom closet in his father’s tavern (Mick’s Lounge), sold his prized 1972 Z28 Camaro, purchased $1,600 worth of used restaurant equipment, and began delivering pizzas out of the back of the bar. In 1985, the first Papa John’s restaurant was opened. Today, there are more than 3,300 Papa John’s stores worldwide including over 2,600 in the U.S., and more than 500 worldwide in over 30 different countries.
