Domino’s gets bigger slice of market

DOMINO’S PIZZA, which has 45 outlets in Ireland saw an increase in sales over the last few months due to the cold weather which encouraged people to stay at home and order-in.

The pizza chain is continuing with massive expansion plans in which it aims to have 1,000 stores by 2017. It currently has 608 in Britain and Ireland.

Domino’s said like-for-like sales rose 8.6% in the 13 weeks to December 27. It forecast profits ahead of expectations and said it had created 1,500 jobs after opening a record 55 new stores over the last year.
