Well, I know for a fact that there is a new Papa John's opening (and hiring) in my little town. They are setting up shop in a long abandoned strip mall. It's nice to see the jobs that are being created for both the PJ employees and the contractors. The next closest Papa John's is about 30 minutes away and they always seem to do a brisk business. I haven't heard any rumors that they were laying anyone off.
FYI - I live in the US, not in Canada. I moved and I can't seem to be able to change my profile info.
