ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's
Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world
based on global retail sales, is continuing its global growth
momentum with the opening of its first store in Port Louis, Mauritius. This was accomplished
through a partnership with local operator Island Living – the
master franchisee for Mauritius.
"We are delighted to bring Domino's to Mauritius, as it is the world's leading pizza
brand," said Richard S. Stedman,
chief executive officer of Island Living. "We are committed
to winning the hearts and minds of those in the community with our
freshly-made hand-tossed pizza, using only high-quality
ingredients. We look forward to serving customers in-store, through
carry out and via delivery using Domino's world-class online
ordering system."
Domino's is on a mission to bring the great pizza and excellent
customer service of a renowned international brand to neighborhoods
throughout Mauritius. The first
location is in the center of Port
Louis – Mauritius' capital
city – and features the new pizza theater design with an inviting
and authentic interior, spacious seating, a kid's corner, as well
as a front row seat to watch all the action of pizza-making. A
second location will open later this year in the heart of the Beau
Bassin community – a great food hub for Mauritians.
"Establishing ourselves in Mauritius provides an excellent opportunity
for our brand to continue growing globally," said Joe Jordan, executive vice president of Domino's
International. "Domino's, partnering with Richard and the Island
Living team, has terrific potential to offer an unmatched pizza
experience to the people of Mauritius."
Domino's now operates in more than 85 markets worldwide, with
more than half of its global retail sales coming from international
stores.
