ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's
Pizza (NYSE:DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza
delivery, celebrated the grand opening of its 1,000th store in
India, Domino's fastest-growing
international market, last week. The store, located in Unity One
Mall, Janakpuri, Delhi, opened on
Feb. 5. India has more Domino's
stores than any other market outside the
United States and Domino's is the largest pizza brand in
India.
"This is truly a remarkable accomplishment," said Patrick Doyle, Domino's president and CEO.
"India just opened its 900th store
this summer. The fact that they are now at 1,000 stores half a year
later is a testament to the opportunity for growth in India and the commitment of our master
franchisee, Jubilant FoodWorks, to serving customers in this
important market."
Shyam and Hari Bhartia, the
brothers who founded Jubilant FoodWorks, first brought Domino's to
India in 1995. They had a
commitment and a vision for what the brand could be for customers
in India, including excellent food
quality and customer service, along with tremendous opportunities
for the people the brand employs. They created an organization with
around 30,000 team members, where a delivery driver can move up the
ranks and become a store manager within two years.
"For over 20 years Domino's has focused on bringing the best
pizza to our customers in India. The team's focus on menu
variety, exciting flavors and quality ingredients has helped to
make Domino's the leading pizza brand in India," said Richard
Allison, president of Domino's International. "We're proud
to celebrate their tremendous growth and outstanding success, which
has been built by committed leadership and the hard work of
thousands of team members across the country."
