Our Journey

Bajco started its first business venture in the United States by opening two Papa Johns Pizza restaurants in 2002. Driven by the success of its first two restaurants, the Group signed a development agreement with Papa Johns International in March 2003 to develop 10 Papa Johns restaurants in Greater Pittsburgh region in Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Through multiple acquisitions and new restaurant development, Bajco has grown to become the largest privately held franchisee of Papa Johns International.
