With the new location in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Papa John's is now in 46 countries and territories around the globe, a news release said.

Ultimately, the franchisee —  PJ Western —  plans to open 16 Kazakhstan locations in addition to its other Papa John's restaurants in Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Poland. A second Almaty restaurant will also open in October, and the brand will continue to expand in Eastern Europe, as well.
