Papa Johns moving HQ to Atlanta

Good, Louisville doesn’t deserve it.
Atlanta? Gatlinburg would have made more sense.
That's going to make getting an NBA team just a little harder. One less suite bought. One less possible corporate donor.
Will it improve their garbage food?
I get Papa John's for my nephews and nieces from time to time and if the service wasn't so fast and friendly I'd much, much rather just skip down the road to Somerset's Eubank Pizza just south of the mall, or Mr. D's, or Mill Springs Pizza in Nancy.
Edit: now that I've typed that out and thought about it, I don't know why the heck I ever still get Papa John's. It's worth driving just a little bit more for way, way better pizza.

I wish Mill Springs Pizza would open a new place in Somerset.
I know a spot in Atlanta that is available.
Used to be a Wendy’s there but it’s “gone” now.

Yeah.... Louisville has Amazon, Ford, Humana, G/E, and UPS. I think they will do just fine. Lexington on the other hand, not a damn thing.
All those Louisville peeps taking the relocation package are going to love ATL traffic.
I don't think you understand the difference between the jobs that are leaving and what jobs Amazon, Ford. GE and UPS have here. There are very specific reasons they are moving and they are due to state politics for the last 30 years. Our politicians have wanted to a be low wage, manual labor state. ATL is a global city that attracts talent from around the world. We have been in the top 5 poorest states my entire life and Georgia has climbed out of the top 10 and is moving out of the top 15.
City in a lockdown state, in a constant state of unrest where you can't host anyone downtown, can't attract top talent (because who'd want to live in Louisville right now), an anti business governor, and pending massive tax increase to cover the financial hole we dug ourselves, and an embarrassingly putrid airport.
Or somewhere else? Was it really even a choice?
Now look down the road. If a Louisville company leaves Louisville, what does that mean for the rest of the companies there? Because they're all facing the same pitches and decisions, without the origin/nostalgia factor.

None of those companies, except Humana, are headquartered in Louisville. They may have a regional operations or a plant, but not headquarters.
I have an uncle that works there and is making a killing right now. He worked for GE long enough to draw a pension. So he is officially retired from General Electric and receiving his pension. However he is still employed with Haier so drawing his full pay.
Kentucky has always had a national perception as being anti-business. This was starting to fade a little then they elected a hard core Democrat liberal extremist. It may have set the state back decades.
So don't look for much business to move to Kentucky but Kentucky will be fortunate not to lose more corporations. I wonder if Humana is looking for greener pastures? But it is hard to feel sorry for a state that put someone like Beshear in the Governors seat. All over a bunch of liberal unionized teachers.
if you don't have a job in Kentucky, Thank A Teacher
Kentucky has nothing that sets it apart for businesses. We need to adopt TN’s tax system
