Bajco Group is headquartered at 1275 Boardman-Canfield Rd, Suite B, in Boardman, Ohio and is a Papa John's franchisee with affiliated businesses in commercial real estate and business services. The company began in 2002 when it opened its first Papa John's restaurants in East Liverpool and Salem, Ohio, and in March 2003 it signed a development agreement with Papa John's International for the Greater Pittsburgh region. Growth since then has come from new restaurant development and a long series of acquisitions of existing Papa John's restaurants from other franchisees, including a 2013 partnership with Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis, and in 2024 it signed a further development agreement for new restaurants. Bajco Group is privately held and operates under franchise agreements and does not own the Papa John's brand. Restaurants are quick serve and focus on pizza. The company's restaurants reach from its Ohio base across the Great Lakes region into the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast and the Southwest.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.
The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.
