Despite the ongoing global recession that has hit a number of companies in all industry sectors, Domino's Pizza has recently revealed that sales for the latest quarter have grown exponentially. Due to an 8.6% per cent rise in like-for-like sales in all 501 of its UK stores in the last three months, Domino's are anticipating that sales figures at the end of the year will more than exceed expectations.
Domino's Pizza, who are already one of the largest pizza delivery companies in the UK today, opened 55 new stores in 2009, meaning that they now have a total of 608 stores operating in the UK at present. The new stores created in excess of 1,500 new food jobs, which brought their total workforce up to approximately 20,000 employees. The addition of these new outlets has also meant that compared to the same time last year, sales figures have increased by 15.6 per cent to £112.4 million.
City experts believe that the success of Domino's Pizza can be attributed to a number of factors: the number of new stores, short-term tactical promotional strategies and campaigns like the sponsorship of 'Britain's Got Talent', and a greater focus on improving online sales.
For those looking for food jobs, the current success of the company seems to indicate that now is the perfect time to get involved. Both job security and potential for career progression are incentives offered by this burgeoning UK employer.
