Malta Welcomes Its First Domino's® Store
Birkirkara residents can now enjoy the Domino's delivery experience
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, has opened its first store in Birkirkara, Malta. Residents of the largest city in Malta have already embraced the recently-opened store and the Domino's experience by driving record sales in its first week of operations.
Anatron, a Domino's master franchisee in the region, opened the market in cooperation with a local partner, Famalco Group, a company based in Malta with experience in real estate, construction and motor vehicle dealerships. Together, their broad business experience makes them well-positioned to develop Domino's into a leading brand in Malta.
The new pizza theater store features local Maltese tile and an open concept design, allowing customers to watch their pizza being made each step of the way. The local franchisee is committed to serving delicious products, exceptional service and innovative ordering technology to the community.
"We've been steadily opening new stores around the world, including beautiful and customer-friendly pizza theater stores, like the one in Birkirkara, which stand out in any neighborhood," said Ritch Allison, president of Domino's International.
Domino's now operates in more than 85 markets worldwide, with more than half of its global retail sales coming from international stores.
