The Papa John’s located on Louisville will now be accepting Flex Dollars. Papa John’s has not chosen a specific date, but using Warhawk Express should be available to students picking up pizza at Papa John’s in the upcoming week. This will give students a wider range of choices than what is offered on campus.

Connie Cordero, marketing coordinator for a local Papa John’s, encouraged the Flex Dollars idea. Cordero worked with ARAMARK Food Services at ULM to advance the use of Warhawk Express. The Louisville store’s General Manager Chris Harmon and his employees support the changes and encourage students to stay in school.

Papa John’s employee and ULM sophomore Shawn Alexander said, “It gives students a variety of food besides the SUB and the cafeteria.”

Sophomore Dillon Crowell says, “Papa John’s participated in [Baptist Collegiate Ministries’] Pizza Wars Tuesday, Aug. 30, which was a great way for them to promote their new Flex Dollars!”

Papa John’s decided to help ULM because restaurant founder John Schnatter believed in helping students get an education. Schnatter graduated from Ball State University in Indiana knowing that he wanted to start his career by opening his own pizza business. Now Papa John’s is the third most successful pizza company in the nation.
