Papa Johns announced Tuesday that the company is extending its partnership with PepsiCo as its exclusive partner for another 10 years as part of a contract renewal.
The Louisville, Ky.-based pizza chain added that “additional investment from Pepsi” will support marketing efforts and North American development expansion through growth-driving incentives.
“Through the extension of our partnership with PepsiCo, Papa Johns will continue to offer our valued customers the variety of beverages they have always enjoyed, while driving operational excellence,” Papa Johns chief supply chain officer Kurt Millburn said in a statement. “Our shared goal is to deepen customer attachment to beverages with orders, ensuring an exceptional dining experience for every Papa Johns customer.”
Papa Johns’ continued and expanded partnership with PepsiCo is not the first related announcement in the foodservice industry. In March, Subway made the switch from Coke to Pepsi for a 10-year contract starting in 2025, and in May, TopGolf did the same.
"PepsiCo is thrilled to extend our longstanding partnership with Papa Johns,"Hugh Roth, chief customer officer, PepsiCo Global Away From Home, said in a statement. "The perfect pairing of our refreshing beverages with Papa Johns delicious pizzas has created a winning combination that continues to delight consumers. We look forward to another decade of collaboration, focused on delivering exceptional value, innovation, service and customer satisfaction."
