In addition to a more modern and sleek look, the brand aims to adapt to pandemic-fueled changes in the restaurant category by optimizing its store layout and rolling out new pick-up, drive-thru and self-serve options."We are evolving how the Papa Johns experience comes to life across all touchpoints, while remaining true to what got us where we are today and bringing to life our continued aspirations to improve and grow," <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/max-wetzel-0543211/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=papa-johns-drops-the-apostrophe-from-its-logo-with-plans-for-total-brand-refresh-2717212" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Max Wetzel</a>, Papa Johns' chief commercial officer, said in a press statement around the news. "This new experience is both a celebration of our tremendous momentum and a vision to inspire future growth."The pizza brand’s new visual identity — specifically the decision to drop an apostrophe from "John's" in the logo — could also be an attempt to further distance itself from founder John Schnatter, who found himself in hot water amid a series of controversies in 2018.

As a result, Papa Johns has been looking for ways to clean up its image and win back favor among customers in recent years, most notably with the help of NBA legend and <a href="https://1851franchise.com/papa-johns-releases-more-details-of-larger-than-life-brand-partnership-with-shaquille-o-neal-2710262#stories">brand ambassador</a> Shaquille O’ Neal.Related articles:&nbsp;<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/new-york-times-papa-johns-founder-john-schnatter-quits-as-chairman-after-using-racial-slur-2707127#maintrending">New York Times: Papa John’s Founder John Schnatter Quits as Chairman After Using Racial Slur</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/before-his-downfall-john-schnatter-built-a-pizza-empire-2712389">Before His Downfall, John Schnatter Built a Pizza Empire</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/john-schnatter-says-resignation-was-a-mistake-2707189#stories">John Schnatter Says Resignation Was a Mistake</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/papa-johns-releases-more-details-of-larger-than-life-brand-partnership-with-shaquille-o-neal-2710262#stories">Papa John's Releases More Details of Larger Than Life Brand Partnership With Shaquille O’ Neal</a></li></ul>
