In May of 2015, a gunfight between gang members broke out in the franchised Twin Peaks Restaurant in Waco, Texas. Nine members of a biker gang were killed and 18 injured. This led to the removal of the franchisee, who disregarded warnings, and the permanent closure of the restaurant.

History

Papa Murphy’s Take N Bake Pizza Corporate Office

Papa Murphy’s Take N Bake Pizza began in 1984 as Murphy’s Pizza. Papa Aldo’s Pizza began in 1981. These two companies merged into Papa Murphy’s in 1995 when Terry Collins purchased both companies.

The company operates a chain of “take and bake” pizza restaurants, with most of the locations being franchises. Lee Equity Partners of New York purchased the chain in 2010 and went public on the NYSE under the ticker symbol: FRSH in 2014. Quick Service Restaurants rated Papa Murphy’s in 2013 with the Franchisee Satisfaction Award and Top Pizza Chain in 2014.

Papa Murphy’s Take N Bake Pizza currently has more than 1,425 stores in 38 states. There are also locations in Canada and Dubai. Because the pizzas sold are uncooked, most locations allow them to be purchased with food stamps or EBT.

In November of 2018, Papa Murphy’s stock was up 20%, but rumor has it that the chain is for sale.

In January 2023, Newsweek awarded Papa Murphy’s America’s Favorite Restaurant Chain for the second year in a row.
