Papa John's Partners With DoorDash, Strengthens Delivery
Zacks Investment Research | Mar 14, 2019 08:38AM ET
Shares of Papa John’s International, Inc. (NASDAQ:PZZA) rallied more than 2% at close on Mar 13, following the company’s announcement of a national partnership with the fastest-growing door-to-door delivery service provider, DoorDash. Notably, DoorDash is currently in collaboration with more than 1,400 restaurants in the United States including Dunkin’ Brands (NASDAQ:DNKN) .
The move is clearly an effort by Papa John’s to revive its long-standing declining sales trend and to reach out to more customers and drive incremental traffic. Unlike other pizza chains, Papa John’s has been under a negative light for quite a long time owing to the denouncement of its ex-CEO on grounds of racial slur.
A look at Papa John’s price trend reveals that the stock has had an unimpressive run on the bourses in the past year. Shares of the company have lost 21.6% against the Original post
