A new pizza takeaway could open in Lichfield if planners give it the go-ahead.
The Papa John’s brand has applied for permission to use part of the Birmingham Road building currently occupied by electrical retailer Richer Sounds.
The plan involves building a single storey extension to allow both businesses to use the site.
Papa John’s is one of the largest takeaway pizza companies across the globe.
At the start of the year it had 215 outlets in this country, but the plan to open a Lichfield branch forms part of a wider project to increase the company’s reach across the UK.
If the scheme gets to go-ahead, it would see Papa John’s battling for a slice of the city’s pizza takeaway business alongside established names such as Domino’s and Pizzaco.
Residents can see full details of the plan for the new shop and have their say on the proposals via Lichfield District Council’s planning website.
