Papa John’s is on its way to Fulshear, with Franchisee Joanne Gibson bringing the popular pizza chain to 8525 FM 359. According to permit details, Gibson’s new location involves a transformation from retail space to a fully equipped restaurant, an endeavor that marks her latest business move in the growing community.
The upcoming Papa John’s, set to occupy a compact 953-square-foot area, will require an estimated $275,000 for renovation and alterations, according to the filed permit. This transition, known as a “TI upfit” (tenant improvement upfit), will see the site’s use shift from a retail space to a full-service pizza outlet.
Gibson’s choice to expand in Fulshear aligns with the town’s rapid development, as residents increasingly seek more dining options closer to home. Once open, this Papa John’s will bring the chain’s signature pizzas, sides, and other offerings to the local community, adding to Fulshear’s roster of well-known food brands.
With an expected opening before the year’s end, Gibson’s Papa John’s will offer a convenient spot for quality pizza in Fulshear, catering to families and individuals alike.
Work on the location was to have begun in October 2024, with construction set to complete by December 2024.
