Domino’s Pizza

85% of Domino’s Pizza of stores are owned by franchisees, and Cathal McDonnell is no exception.

Having worked for the company between 1997 and 2000 and returned from two years abroad to manage a number of outlets in Dublin, he now owns eight outlets in the Munster region.

“Business has been difficult for us, like everyone else, over the last four years,” he says.
