Papa Johns, which reportedly “started in a broom closet in Jeffersonville, IN,” has 19 stores in Wisconsin including Fond du Lac, Menomonee Falls and Sheboygan.
The franchise used to be on the south end cap of the Sendik’s strip mall on 18th Avenue in West Bend. Topper’s Pizza moved in in 2020.
In a unique twist, Topper’s has now closed and Papa Johns is making its return.
Adam Williquette, president of American Commercial Real Estate handled the transaction.
The new pizza joint is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2023.
