An American Papa John's boss living in plans to keep all the country's pizza shops open despite the brand announcing last week that it was suspending all of its corporate operations in the country over the war on Ukraine.Christopher Wynne, a native who has lived and worked in Russia part time since the early 2000s, said Papa Johns will continue to operate all 190 of its stores there, even after the US-based head office said they'd be closing.He is able to ignore that edict because the Russian outlets are owned by franchisees, who buy their supplies from an independent company that he owns. Wynne began working with local suppliers when Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, and now gets almost all of his produce from within the country - except for olives.
