And I, for one, say good riddance:

... The franchised restaurant closings included 11 non-traditional units located in Six Flags theme parks in connection with our decision not to renew our sponsorship agreement. The remaining four Six Flags units will close in the first quarter of 2011....

So was this a Six Flags decision, or was it a Papa John`s decision. Or was the decision mutual?

They make it sound like it was a Papa John's decision. Interestingly, on the night before the SIX conference call, Papa John's took it upon themselves to publicly announce adding Mark Shapiro to their board. To say that Papa and Mark were close would be to be very accurate.

Maybe Papa took the KK closing very personal, lol.

Now only if Maple Grove could kick out their mess of ingredients that are sold as pizza.

Amen! And if only Great Adventure could get back the pizza they had before Captain Blah took over (even if it is from Louisville). Then again, I suppose I should hope for more at Melinda Ashcraft's place!

Famous Famiglia...yes, even at SFOG:
