One large pepperoni, a text-message scandal, and a boycott on the side, please. Papa John's is in the middle of a big mess on two fronts, one in court and one in the media. Here's a look at both:
- Papa John's is in the midst of a drawn-out $250 million class-action lawsuit for allegedly sending millions of unsolicited texts to customers back in 2010. Some plaintiffs allege that they received as many as 16 texts in a row, sometimes in the middle of the night, reports CNN. They're suing for $500 per text, but could end up getting triple that pending the jury's decision.
