CAIRO: PJP Investment Group has announced its partnership with Papa John’s to open more than 100 new restaurants in Saudi Arabia over the next five years, Arab News quoted a statement, as saying.

PJP, which specialises in food and beverages and is wholly-owned by Levant Capital, opened the first four new outlets in Riyadh on Tuesday, October 26 in Sulaimaniyah, Al-Nouzha, Al-Malqa and Qurtubah.

Saudi Arabia’s food and beverage market has grown since the launch of Vision 2030, making it the leading market for quick-service restaurants and giving them the opportunity to grow their global presence by opening new branches in the kingdom.

“It’s an amazing opportunity to develop the Papa John’s brand in Saudi Arabia and contribute to the kingdom’s Vision 2030.”
