Domino’s now has 21,000 restaurants around the world

Domino’s Pizza, Inc., just reported third quarter earnings, with US same-store sales rising 3.0%, slightly worse than expected, contributing to the company revising its forecast for sales growth this year. The company now expects global retail sales to grow 6% this year, down from 7%.

The company also revealed that it now has 21,002 stores across the world, as it continues to build on its ambitious global growth plans or, as Domino’s calls it, the “Hungry for MORE” strategy. A substantial slice of those — some 33% — are in the US, with the rest spread across its 90 international markets. The new additions widen the gap to its nearest rival, Pizza Hut, which had fewer than 20,000 locations at the latest count.
