See where in Columbus a former Jimmy John’s will become a global pizza chain

COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — A pizza chain with thousands of locations across the globe is moving into the former home of a Jimmy John’s on the northern side of Columbus.

Papa Johns will soon set up shop in the building at 4409 N. High St. in Clintonville, which was previously a Jimmy John’s. Last week, signs were put up outside the building saying that the pizzeria is coming soon.

A document submitted to the city also confirmed the chain would be coming to Clintonville. As far back as late February, a building permit had been issued by the City of Columbus calling for the space to be converted into a Papa Johns.

Construction costs to turn the building into a Papa Johns are expected to total $200,000, the document showed. It’s not clear yet whether construction has started or when the restaurant will be ready to open.

Founded in 1984, with its first shop in Jeffersonville, Indiana, Papa Johns has since expanded to more than 5,000 locations in 45 countries and territories around the world, according to its website. Countries with at least one Papa Johns location include China, Mexico, Ireland, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
