Papa John&rsquo;s founder John Schnatter has&nbsp;created his own website. <a href="https://savepapajohns.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=john-schnatter-launches-save-papa-johns-website-2707605" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">Save Papa Johns</a> offers a brief statement from the founder, his biography, a list of developments in his ongoing feud with the brand and links to news coverage&nbsp;positioned in his favor.

Schnatter has been clashing with the brand since <a href="https://1851franchise.com/new-york-times-papa-john-s-founder-john-schnatter-quits-as-chairman-after-using-racial-slur-2707127" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">he stepped down as CEO</a>. Not long after his resignation, he admitted that <a href="https://1851franchise.com/john-schnatter-says-resignation-was-a-mistake-2707189" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">the move was a mistake</a> and has since launched a <a href="https://1851franchise.com/john-schnatter-sues-papa-john-s-2707296" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank">lawsuit</a> against the brand.

&ldquo;I am Papa John. I built Papa John&#39;s from the ground up and remain its largest shareholder&hellip; The board wants to silence me. So this is my website, and my way to talk to you,&quot; the website reads.

Papa John&#39;s is 120,000 corporate and franchisee team members around the world. Stakeholders, including customers, franchisees, employees, and investors, have expressed strong support for the actions we have taken to separate our brand from Mr. Schnatter. No matter what John does, he will not be able to distract from the inappropriate comments he made.&quot;
