Papa John's Pizza - Foundation

Time: Tuesday Oct 2, 1984

Place: Jeffersonville, Indiana, U.S.

Details: The Papa John's restaurant was founded in 1984 when "Papa" John Schnatter knocked out a broom closet in the back of his father's tavern, Mick's Lounge, in Jeffersonville, Indiana. He then sold his 1971 Camaro Z28 to purchase US$1,600 worth of used pizza equipment and began selling pizzas to the tavern's customers out of the converted closet.
