A major pizza chain is set to close in Watford alongside 42 other locations across the UK.

Papa Johns has confirmed the locations of 43 UK restaurants it will shut within the next two months.

The list of confirmed locations comes after the takeaway business shared plans to shut a raft of “underperforming” restaurants earlier this year.

All named restaurants, including the St Albans Road, Watford branch, will apparently be shut by mid-May following a consultation process.

The Market Street, Watford, location was not on the list.

In January, the brand had sought licensing permission to stay open for deliveries until 5am. The application was technically granted, but with conditions limiting the hours to 2am instead.
