Domino’s has opened its 50th store across the UK and Ireland this year.
The pizza chain says it is on track to open a total of 60 UK stores before the end of the year, double the number opened in FY22.
The brand’s latest store in Holywood is the fifth to open in Northern Ireland this year.
It is set to open a sixth, in Ballyhackamore - opening in January next year.
”We’ve reached another milestone for this year! We’ve just opened our 50th store across the UK and Ireland. Thank you to all of our franchise partners and Dominoids for their hard work opening these stores”, a spokesperson for the company said.
This month, Domino’s Pizza Group reported like-for-like system sales up 3.7% for Q3, driven by new store openings.
The group said that, in an uncertain market, it had maintained a focus on “providing customers with a compelling value proposition.”
Andrew Rennie, chief executive officer, added, “Having been in the business for 100 days and spent that time travelling around the UK and Ireland visiting franchisees, suppliers and colleagues I’m even more excited about the opportunities ahead for Domino’s and our outstanding franchisees.
”I look forward to providing an initial outline on these growth opportunities for the business on 11 December.”
Rennie said that franchisees are ”performing well in an uncertain market”, and that the company was benefitting from an aligned system.
