Nah. It seems to me that the relationship between Papa John’s and Laundry Service was headed towards the wall anyway, and LS pulled the plug before PJ’s could. That’s the problem with Papa John’s: It’s difficult to deal with him, but he won’t ever really go away. So there’s really no fixing the fundamental problem.

Doubt it. Remember, he stepped down as CEO and they still kept him on in some capacity. He would never have been removed from the company. I think it was misguided to hire so many people just for that sole business. Could have saved a lot of people if it was just reallocation at the offset.

He stepped down as CEO, I think, last fall after the whole NFL / anthem blow-up. But he still retained the chairmanship, and obviously after a bit of a break, started creeping back into the marketing. So as per AS1, I think he’ll be back. I think the company just gets smaller and smaller, ever so slowly, as they struggle to sell new franchises amidst this marketing cloud.

John will never really go away, he owns the company. He will hide for a bit and resurface until the next debacle.

News is he’s stepped down as Chairman. I’m sure they’ll still find a way to bring him back though, dude can’t disappear.
