Domino's celebrates international anniversary
June 5, 2008
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Domino's Pizza is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the first Domino's Pizza store opened outside of the United States.
The company's first international store opened in Winnipeg, Canada, in the spring of 1983. A few months later, the first Domino's Pizza store outside of North America opened in Springwood, Queensland, Australia.
Through its mostly franchised system, Domino's now operates more than 8,600 stores in more than 55 countries. With more than 3,500 stores outside the U.S., Domino's International division currently accounts for more than 40 percent of the company's global retail sales and 27 percent of its profit from operations.
Through the first fiscal quarter of 2008, Domino's Pizza International marked its 57th consecutive quarter — more than 14 years — of positive same-store sales growth. The popular Domino's pizzas around the world include:
- The "L'Indienne" from France, featuring Creme Fraiche, mozzarella, provolone and emmental cheeses, roasted chicken or bacon, mushrooms and onions
- The "Melt Down" from Ireland, featuring pepper jack cheese and mozzarella, meatballs, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, and yellow mustard
- The "Mayo Jaga" from Japan, featuring canned sliced potatoes, canned corn, bacon, onions and Japanese mayonnaise
