"Pro-Crust-Inators" Offered Online Relief with Papa John's "1040" Tax Day Special
Large, Original Crust Pizza with up to Three Toppings Just $10.40 During Final Days of Tax Season
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 13, 2009--
As another tax season draws to a close, Papa John’s once again provides
last-minute filers, or “pro-crust-inators,” a “1040” online deal. Now
through midnight on April 15th, consumers can cash in on this
tax break by entering “1040” as a promotional code at www.papajohns.com
for a large, original crust pizza with up to three toppings for just
$10.40.
Last year, more than 86 million individuals filed their tax returns
online, up more than 12 percent from the previous year, according to the
Internal Revenue Service. “As more filers use the e-file option, it only
makes sense to remind customers that Papa John’s also has an online
system in place,” said Jim Ensign, vice president of marketing
communications for Papa John’s. “Last year more than 85,000 people
across the country redeemed our ‘1040’ online offer, and experienced a
slice of tax relief from Papa John’s.”
For those who prefer the traditional way of submitting their taxes, Papa
John’s restaurants across the country will be delivering hot pizzas on
April 15 to overextended postal workers and weary filers who
“pro-crust-inated” this tax season.
“While our customers may not look forward to filing their taxes each
year,” said Ensign, “they do look forward to our 1040 special.”
