Free Papa John's Pizza to camaro owners!
 

"In celebration of Schnatter [founder of Papa John's] finding his Camaro, Papa John’s will offer a free large, one-topping pizza on Wednesday, August 26, 2009, to Camaro owners. To redeem, Camaro owners must arrive at their nearby Papa John’s restaurant in their Camaro to order and pick up their free pizza. Limit one pizza per Camaro, and one visit per Camaro."

Interesting story, the guy paid $250,000 to whoever had his 1971 Camaro which he had to sell to keep his father's tavern in business.

Cool Story. Wish mine was out of ther interior shop. I could use something free as it relates to my car!

The last few times we've gotten pizza from there, I noticed they were screening his car on the box...pretty cool. I'll be picking mine up tomorrow!

He could have bought a new ZR1, a boat, and a gang of second gens for that kind of money. :D

Too bad it doesn't work for deliveries damn car is half way done

Heck, Lateral-G could take him broke! :lol: The closet one to me is 35 minutes.

Hummmm.....my car is a little too far away to use right now, Bob, do you want to push your car down there, I'll steer it!! :lol: :thumbsup:

we could throw it on a trailer and take it down there.
They didn't say it needed to drive under its own power

Hell Pete could get like 6 pizzas then with all the camaros in his shop....if the trailer deal works!

Rodger are you reading this?

Damn I sure am hungry!! :lol:

Alright guys, I'm picking up 5 pizzas tomorrow. You buy the beer. :rofl: http://www.papajohnsonline.com/restl...9052&radius=10

I wonder what this camaro has cost him in total including all these free pizzas

Brilliant PR work.....make me want to find a Papa Johns!

Loaded up the family and picked up our free pizza pie for dinner tonight!

Thanks John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished my FREE Papa Johns Pizza...Yumm!

got my pizza at lunch, and I just picked up another one for dinner. The second place took picture of me and my Camaro. Maybe Papa John will post all the pictures on the website soon. :thumbsup:

Picked up the free pizza tonight, kids loved it. The PJ workers didn't seem too interested in the whole thing. There was a 4th gen (father and son) also waiting, we BS'd for a few and then left.

I had the opposite experience. The girl running the register was really excited about my car and goes to the drags with her boyfriend. I called ahead, added jalepenos, stopped for a sixxer on the way home and was into dinner for $9. :thumbsup:

Should be an annual event. (Even though I don't own a camaro)

Same here the people didn't even check to see if I had driven up in a camaro :rolleyes:

Got mine last night, the chick had no clue what i was talking about.

Her - "Ok, that'll be $20.54" (I got breadsticks too)

Me - (trying to be all suave) "I'll be showing up in a blue CAMARO!"

Her - "oooohh!!! Fancy! Nice!"

Me - "..... Ya...." *pause* "... isn't there some deal about a free pizza?"

Her - "uhh... HOLD!"

She thought I was trying to pick her up
:lol:

Man, free pizza sure tastes better for some reason. I stopped by yesterday evening with my wife. The PJ crew was really cool. They said the only way I was getting a free pizza was to lay a little rubber in front of the store! I certainly had no problems with that, but I think the stores around them were getting a little annoyed! There were 2 other 3rd gen Camaros there too and so we all blackened the concrete a bit. Seeing the other photos posted, I now wish I had brought my camera.

heh
 

papa johns by my shop got hammered heh. we must have had at least 25 people with camaros from here get a free large 1 toping

Wanted to but got home late from a Dr. appointment then the local heavy fog (think light rain:mad: ) started rolling in so I was a no-show.

25 mile roundtrip and about $30 in 110 race fuel for a $10 pizza started to not make a whole heck of a lot of sense...if it woulda been sunny I probably would have gone.

Todd,

Great picture love the car. I think it is funny that in that picture, every store is a food store.

I just found that interesting...:_paranoid

Papa John's Camaro prodigal son-like return, he gave away free pizza to Camaro owners yesterday — 35,847 free pizzas, to be exact!

Thats alot of pizza!

gotta say, that is one of the cooler stories in a while... the fact he was able to buy that Camaro for $250K because he could is really awesome IMO - I owned a pizza joint for awhile (as well as worked for many small biz owners while in college, etc) and all I can say is that when somebody can go out and start a biz and actually make it, they deserve everything they get from it... to have the kind of scratch to drop $250K to get back your baby pawning pizza is just awesome.

That dude has something that I sure don't have, and it isn't just perseverance tho' that is key, it really takes something that is somehow just innate to be able to create a company as large as that. Now hearing the story of selling that car to pull his dad's bar out of BK and managing to start from THAT and have PJs across the country... fricken really cool. Makes me want to go to PJs just to continue to support someone with those similarly meager roots and that much passion. The fact he didn't buy a ZR1 or boats or whatever but hunted for that car implies to me that he probably appreciates what he has most certainly earned.

I really hope for the franchisees sake that they get fully reimbursed for all of the pizzas they gave away. Really nice gesture on HQ's part, but as a franshisee (not PJ's) I just hope they don't get burned.

He could have save lots of money on pizzas if he had a non-belly button car like a Mopar ! :lol:

They earned me as a client so I'm not sure how they got burned? Seems like business 101 to me....

do some google searches on Quiznos million sub giveaway and you'll find out how a franchisee can get burned by the franchisor. And no, that's not the company i'm with.
