Papa John's Losing to Domino's When it Comes to Development Costs -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-06

1045 ET - BTIG analysts say Papa John's top priority should be reducing development costs ahead of its Dec. 12 investor day. Earlier this year, unit development costs were averaging about $630,000 versus $425,000 for similar formats at competitor Domino's. "This was the widest cost differential that we can remember," the analysts say, noting that expenses to open a location are nearly 60% higher compared with pre-Covid development costs. "If management can bring development costs more in line with Domino's, we estimate that returns could improve ... which may entice franchisees to build more stores." (emon.reiser@wsj.com)
