Domino’s Pizza
Founded in 1960 in the US, Domino’s is a global pizza delivery franchise with more than 1,400 UK stores, offering collection and delivery through a large franchised network.
About Domino’s Pizza
Domino’s began in the US in 1960 and opened its first UK store in Luton in 1985. Domino’s Pizza Group acquired the UK and Ireland master franchise rights in 1993 and has expanded the network through franchise partners. The business reached its 1,400th UK store in Largs, Ayrshire, in March 2026, and operates across more than 80 countries worldwide. Its offer centres on pizza delivery and collection, supported by technology, national marketing and an established supply chain. In 2025, the company trialled a compact 720 sq ft modular pod in Somerset. It has also developed Chick ‘N’ Dip, a fried chicken sub-brand prepared through existing Domino’s kitchens, with a wider rollout announced in 2026. Franchisees operate stores under agreements with Domino’s Pizza Group, which helps select premises and provides ongoing operational and commercial support.

What's expected of a franchisee
Property requirements
Domino’s Pizza Group helps franchise applicants identify suitable locations and typically sublets the store premises to the franchisee under its standard agreement. The business operates delivery and collection outlets, including a 720 sq ft modular pod launched in Somerset in 2025. Store size, configuration and site suitability vary by format. The supplied information does not specify standard minimum floor area, extraction, parking or frontage requirements.
Training and support
Domino’s provides ongoing franchise support across technology systems, supply chain management, operations, strategy and insight, human resources, communications, legal, property and marketing. The franchisor also assists with site selection and recommends advertising and promotional activity to help generate sales. The supplied profile does not specify the duration of initial training, opening-team support or the frequency of field visits.
Operational requirements
Franchisees run Domino’s stores under a standard agreement, with premises generally sublet by Domino’s Pizza Group. Operators manage day-to-day trading, staff, customer service and delivery or collection orders, while paying royalties and contributing to a marketing fund. The network relies on shared technology, supply chain and operating standards. Chick ‘N’ Dip is prepared using existing kitchens and delivery infrastructure rather than separate chicken stores.
Experience required
Domino’s Pizza Group selects franchisees carefully and works with successful applicants to identify suitable sites. Prospective operators should be capable of managing a delivery-led food business, staffing, service standards and local performance within the franchise system. The stated initial investment is £280,000-£500,000, with £120,000-£130,000 in liquid funds. The supplied profile does not set out mandatory prior restaurant experience or minimum net worth.
