Domino's Pizza celebrated the grand opening of its 1,000th store in India last week. The store, located in Unity One Mall, Janakpuri, Delhi, opened on Friday. India has more Domino's stores than any other market outside the United States and Domino's is the largest pizza brand in India, according to a company press release.
"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 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, the release stated.
"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."
