Pizza company to open three stores

DOMINO’S PIZZA is set to further increase its number of Irish-based outlets this year; bringing to nearly 200 the number of Irish jobs it has created since the start of 2010 — despite its business here remaining in negative sales territory.

Domino’s opened three new outlets in Ireland during 2010 — taking its total to 48 — creating 100 jobs in the process. A further three stores are planned for 2011 — with each employing about 30 employees. The company is looking to open about nine new outlets in the Republic in the short-term.

“This year is our 20th anniversary in Ireland and we see ourselves being here for the long-term. Our Irish division may have been in negative sales territory for the past three years, but we have a good business model here and people will always want pizza,” explained Domino’s UK and Ireland spokesperson Georgina Wald.
