ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza
(NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world based on global
retail sales, is launching yet another delivery revolution.
Starting today, over 150,000 Domino's Hotspots are now active
nationwide so that customers can receive delivery orders at spots
that don't have a traditional address – places like local parks,
sports fields and beaches, as well as thousands of other unexpected
sites. Local Domino's stores around the country have selected these
Domino's Hotspots, which are now locations where drivers can meet
customers curbside to hand off orders.
"We listened to customers and their need for pizza delivery to
locations without a traditional address," said Russell Weiner, president of Domino's
USA. "We know that delivery is all
about convenience, and Domino's Hotspots are an innovation that is
all about flexible delivery options for customers."
Domino's Hotspots are online-only for prepaid orders on
dominos.com and in mobile apps. Once a customer's location has been
determined, local Domino's Hotspots that are available for delivery
will appear on a map for customers to select. Before checking out,
customers can leave instructions to help the driver find them.
After completing their order, customers will receive text
message alerts about their Domino's Hotspot delivery progress,
including a final text that gives the estimated arrival of the
driver at the hand-off spot.
"Now customers spending time at some of our new Domino's
Hotspots locations, like Tommy Lasorda
Field of Dreams in Los
Angeles or even next to the James Brown statue in
Augusta, Georgia, can have a pizza
conveniently delivered to them, thanks to our innovative Domino's
Delivery Hotspots," continued Weiner.
Customers can check out Domino's Delivery Hotspot locations in
their area by going to the locator page at dominos.com. For
