Domino’s enjoys 3% increase in first-half sales

Domino’s, the leading pizza delivery company, registered a near 3% annualised increase in sales in Ireland in the first half of this year.

The 2.9% like-for-like sales rise compared favourably to a difficult start made in 2011, when the first six months saw an 8.4% like-for-like decline.

Interim figures for the European division of the US fast food giant — which basically comprises its operations in Britain, Ireland, and Germany — showed total sales of £286.9m (€367m), which was up by 11% on the same period last year.
