Peter Shaw, Chief Executive of DP Poland, said:

“The seventh consecutive quarter of double digit like-for-like sales growth and more stores moving into profit further prove the model for Domino’s Pizza in Poland.

We can see the beginning of that virtuous circle of growing store numbers and reducing food costs that has been central to the success model in Domino’s Pizza markets around the world.

The opportunity now is to open stores in new cities and expand our sub-franchised store base, hand in hand with building brand profile, driving sales and reducing food costs.”
