Domino’s Pizza Group faces a growing rebellion from its franchisees — almost all of whom are believed to be refusing to open stores for the first half of this year.
In a move that suggests the rancour between the company and its store owners is far worse than thought, almost all the franchisees have joined a group to lobby for a greater share of profits.
The Domino’s Franchisee Association has secured the support of about 90% of the 56 franchisees. Association members are prepared to not open stores. They have also agreed to boycott the company’s annual awards next month, meaning the event is likely to be cancelled.
