Domino’s Pizza has for the first time admitted to failings in its ambitious store expansion, with some stores having been opened “a year or two early”.
The comments came as the takeaway company revealed annual profits had been hit by “growing pains” in its international business.
Domino’s is chasing a long-term plan of 1,600 UK outlets, but was forced into downgrading annual targets last year. Domino’s opened 95 stores in 2017 and was aiming for 75 new sites last year, before reducing the total to 60.
