Major restaurant chain announces operational shift affecting multiple regions
- Replies 31
The pizza industry in Australia and beyond is undergoing a shake-up as a major player announces significant operational changes.
With plans to scale back, the company’s decision could impact pizza lovers across multiple countries.
While the full effects remain uncertain, this move signals a notable shift in the fast-food landscape.
This surprising move comes as part of a strategic review by the pizza giant, which aims to streamline its business and focus on long-term success.
Mark van Dyck, the chief executive of Domino's, has emphasised the company's commitment to decisive action.
'When I started in this role three months ago, I said we would move decisively to reshape our business for long-term success,' he said.
'Where change is required, we are acting quickly and transparently.'
The company has revealed plans to close down more than 200 stores, a decision that will affect pizza lovers in Australia, Japan, and parts of Europe.
Most closures will occur in Japan, where 172 stores are set to shut their doors.
The remaining locations will be spread across Europe and Australia, although specific details about the Australian closures have not been disclosed.
This has left many Australian customers wondering whether their local Domino's will be one of the unlucky ones to go.
Analysts, such as RBC Capital Markets' Michael Toner, have labelled the closures a 'logical' step, particularly in light of Japan's trading outlook.
Toner suggested that 'investors should view positively the company's view towards restoring network health in Japan through store closures and focus on profitable growth.'
Interestingly, following the announcement of the store closures, Domino's shares experienced a surge, climbing more than 20 per cent on the Australian Securities Exchange.
This made Domino's the best performer of the morning, indicating investor confidence in the company's strategic decisions.
This news might be met with mixed feelings for our readers at the Seniors Discount Club.
On one hand, the convenience of having a Domino's nearby for a quick pizza fix is undeniable.
On the other hand, the closure of underperforming stores could signify the company's commitment to quality and service, which could ultimately benefit consumers.
We encourage our members to watch local news and the Domino's website for updates on store closures in Australia.
If your local store is affected, it might be a good time to explore other local pizzerias or even try making homemade pizza—it's a fun activity, and you might discover a new favourite recipe!
