Domino’s Pizza opens 10,000th Store in Turkey

(Best Syndication News) – Domino’s Pizza announced that they have reached a milestone by opening their 10,000th store in Istanbul, Turkey today. The company started their first location almost 53 years ago in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Domino’s Pizza is a mix of franchises and company-owned stores.

To celebrate their 10,000th store, Domino’s President and Chief Executive Officer, J. Patrick Doyle, was present for the grand-opening event. According to Domino’s Pizza, Turkey is one of the fastest growing markets for them.

Richard Allison, Domino’s International Executive Vice President, said that the Domino’s Pizza growth has been accelerated over the past decade as the company expanded their stores internationally. Domino’s Pizza has stores in Australia, Mexico, India, and the United Kingdom as well. Currently there are over 250 Domino’s Pizza locations in Turkey.

The international business for Domino’s has been growing to the point where there are now more stores internationally than in the US. The international business accounts for over half the global sales at around $7 billion.

Because of the milestone, the new Domino’s Pizza store will be giving away 10,000 pizzas for free through their Turkish Facebook site. The new location will also offer a 50 percent discount for all online orders.

A new feature called “Pizza Theater” has been incorporated into this store location. The new restaurant design was introduced in the US, Australia, and New Zealand this summer. The “Pizza Theater” lets customers see the people prepare the food.
