A major pizza chain with branches across Staffordshire reopened its Stoke-on-Trent store last week.

Papa Johns, on Normacot Road in Longton, reopened on Thursday 9 May, just 16 weeks after the store shut whilst the company looked for new ownership.

The Longton store is one of ten reopening across the UK, including Crewe, Macclesfield, Cannock and Kidderminster, creating 100 new jobs.

Papa Johns Longton is open 11am-11pm every day (Nub News).

A Papa Johns spokesperson said: "We are delighted to announce the reopening of these Papa Johns stores, which will not only mean that people can get their favourite pizza again, but also create new job opportunities.

"At Papa Johns, we are dedicated to serving delicious pizzas made with quality ingredients, while also having a positive impact on the communities we operate in. We look forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces."

Papa Johns also has branches in Hanley, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford.
