Maxx Crosby Partners with Papa Johns Las Vegas: A Bold Community and Business Partnership

Las Vegas, NV - November 26, 2024 - In an exciting new partnership, Las Vegas Raiders defensive star Maxx Crosby has joined forces with Papa Johns Las Vegas (owned by BLD Ventures) as a marketing partner and equity owner, strengthening his commitment to the Las Vegas community. This collaboration, led by BLD Ventures CEO and Las Vegas Papa Johns franchise owner Doug Pak, marks a unique step into business for Crosby and solidifies his dedication to giving back to the city he calls home.

Papa Johns has been serving Las Vegas for decades, fostering connections within the community by providing quality pizza for local families and tourists and supporting the city's youth and educational programs. For example, Papa Johns served pizzas at lunchtime to about 100 schools in Clark County for 18 years, until 2023. The partnership with Crosby highlights the company's dedication to new community involvement opportunities and signals a vision of growth with plans to open 10 new Papa Johns locations in the Las Vegas area over the next three years. Papa Johns recently opened a new store located at 2400 S. Rancho (Sahara and
Rancho just West of 15 Fwy) and will open another location on Rainbow just south of 215 Fwy. Maxx plans to partake in the opening festivities of each new local Papa Johns location.

"Vegas has supported me since I got here," Crosby said. "I love Papa Johns and teaming up with them is my way of showing love back to the city that's embraced me as one of its own."

Pak emphasized the significance of the partnership for the local market.

"At Papa Johns Las Vegas, we're not just in the business of making great pizza - we're committed to being a lasting part of this community," Pak said. "Maxx embodies the values we stand for, and together, we're ready to grow our presence in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is the most exciting place to be in America right now and we are thrilled about our new growth plans in Vegas with Maxx."

As part of the partnership, Papa Johns Las Vegas and Crosby have introduced the Maxx Crosby Special: a "Maxximize Your Pizza" deal, which includes two or more extra-large 2- topping pizzas for $14.98 each. Crosby's favorite pizza is a 2-topping with sausage and mushroom. Papa Johns Las Vegas plans to launch exciting new specials with Maxx a few times a year. Part of the proceeds from each Maxx Crosby Special sold will support the Maxx Crosby Foundation, a nonprofit established to promote youth health, wellness, and community development in Las Vegas.

This partnership demonstrates Papa Johns Las Vegas' dedication to more than just serving pizza. It's about creating shared experiences, supporting the community, and making Las Vegas a better place-one slice at a time.
