Domino’s slice of market rises 7%

Late-night deliveries drove Domino’s Pizza’s slice of the takeaway market in the final quarter of 2013 as the company saw its sales increase by more than 7%.

The company reported that “late-night” was key, pushing sales in the three months to Dec 29 to €13.5m and annual sales to nearly €50m in Ireland.

Across its international operation, Domino’s posted a rise in fourth-quarter sales, steadying its shares which had been rattled by executive exits and a costly plan to expand in Germany.
