ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's
Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza
delivery, has opened its first store in Birkirkara,
Malta. Residents of the largest city in Malta have already embraced the
recently-opened store and the Domino's experience by driving record
sales in its first week of operations.
Anatron, a Domino's master franchisee in the region, opened the
market in cooperation with a local partner, Famalco Group, a
company based in Malta with
experience in real estate, construction and motor vehicle
dealerships. Together, their broad business experience makes them
well-positioned to develop Domino's into a leading brand in
Malta.
The new pizza theater store features local Maltese tile and an
open concept design, allowing customers to watch their pizza being
made each step of the way. The local franchisee is committed to
serving delicious products, exceptional service and innovative
ordering technology to the community.
"We've been steadily opening new stores around the world,
including beautiful and customer-friendly pizza theater stores,
like the one in Birkirkara, which stand out in any neighborhood,"
said Ritch Allison, president of
Domino's International.
Domino's now operates in more than 85 markets worldwide, with
more than half of its global retail sales coming from international
stores.
