According to a news report from Nation’s Restaurant News, “Papa John’s International Inc. has cut 35 employees at its corporate headquarters, or about 6 percent of its more than 600 employees based in Louisville.”

“The parent company to the third-largest pizza delivery chain said this week that the cuts were necessary during the harsh economic times that have led to negative sales throughout the pizza segment during 32 of the 35 weeks completed so far this year. The company also cited increasing labor and commodity costs.”
