Papa John's was founded on a commitment to quality since its beginnings in 1985. Part of this commitment includes giving back to the communities in which our team members, franchisees and customers live and work. We believe that being involved in the community helps to provide a higher quality of life for its residents.

Papa John's and Junior Achievement Join Forces to Deliver "Business of Life" Lessons to Nation's Students
Papa John's International and Junior Achievement (JA) have formed a national partnership that will help local JA Offices deliver work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy programs to U.S. students. Papa John's will donate $2 to JA for each customer who places their pizza order online and uses the online coupon displaying the Junior Achievement logo!

In addition, participating Papa John's franchise and corporate-owned restaurants will conduct “job shadow” events at which JA students can experience first-hand what it is like to own and run a Papa John's restaurant and Papa John's employees will be encouraged to volunteer to teach JA classes at schools in their communities. JA Offices can also expand the partnership to include recruiting Papa John's franchisees and local market team leadership to serve on their board of directors.

Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization dedicated to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. Through a dedicated volunteer network, Junior Achievement provides in-school and after-school programs for students. Today, 140 individual area operations reach more than 4 million students in the United States, with an additional 4.3 million students served by operations in 114 other countries worldwide.

Corporate campus tours
Thank you for your interest in visiting Papa John’s International!  Tours of our corporate campus in Louisville, Kentucky, are available every Wednesday at 10:30am and 12:30pm.  The tours can be scheduled to accommodate ages first grade and older, in groups of 25 or less. 

The tour includes seeing how our dough is made and hearing a quick overview of the Papa John history by one of our trained ambassadors.  We do not charge for the tour; we just ask that you have fun! 

The tour should take about one and a half hours and will finish with lunch in our Tuscan-inspired piazza area.  Lunch is available for $1.50 per attendee and includes a large slice of pizza and a canned soft drink.  We offer cheese and pepperoni.  Proceeds from the sale of our pizza go to the Papa John’s Team Member Emergency Relief Fund.
