Papa Murphy’s plans Southeast expansion

Vancouver, Wash. – Pizza retailer Papa Murphy's Holdings Inc. plans to strengthen and grow its presence in the Southeast.



The company, which currently has more than 1,400 locations in 38 states, recently completed acquisitions of existing Papa Murphy's franchise stores in Jacksonville, Forida, as a springboard for further expansion throughout the Southeast.



"There is clear and growing demand for the Papa Murphy's brand in the Southeast and we see tremendous opportunity to build upon our success and growing awareness in this key underpenetrated region,” said Ken Calwell, president and CEO of Papa Murphy's. “We look forward to opening more franchised and company-owned stores in Jacksonville and continuing to deliver on our mission of helping busy families everywhere solve the dinnertime dilemma."
