Renz Restaurants Ltd (CVL) controlled 10 Papa John’s pizza takeaways, including one at Newquay and three outlets in Plymouth.

It's understood The Papa John’s pizza outlets in Newquay as well as Mutley Plain, Woolwell and St Budeaux in Plymouth and six others in the South West, are now under a new franchisee after Renz Restaurants fell into difficulties. The three in Plymouth and others in Exeter, Newton Abbot, Newquay, Exmouth, Paignton and Torquay are all trading after the take-over, and the outlet in Barnstaple is due to reopen early in 2024.

The liquidators, Bridgewood Financial solutions Ltd, has appointed CAPA to carry out an rates audit over the sites.
