and sell off the franchise at a loss, and HEAVILY invest into Blackjack's - a FAR better local chain that has had Bronco endorsements before (Rod Smith was the latest one before he retired).

You know - you buy a pizza, you get points. You can use those points toward free pizzas. The repeat business alone more than makes up for it - it's marketing 101.

Except you have to spend $250 just to get the free pizza (takes about 10 times or less)

PAPA25 is the code for the free pizza once they tick you as a valid buyer.

Poor thing is wondering where the hell I am - probably got about 5 free pizzas in the past 5 years, but we have called off _ALL_ papa john's crap about six months ago, favoring Marco's Pizza - a chain that makes pretty good pizza, but hate the Pepsi products.

They say it will cost them more money to have insurance for the hard working employees, but yet they can give millions of dollars to Rove-care!
