Get a slice of the action

As a franchisee, Domino's store owners become a part of a national support network.

Domino's Pizza, New Zealand's largest pizza business, is giving New Zealanders the chance to own a slice of the action as franchisees of a number of new-look stores that will be opening soon. The stores, which will need devoted and customer-driven owners to take the reins, include a new Whitby outlet in Wellington and Warkworth outlet north of Auckland. Domino's general manager for New Zealand, Scott Bush, says the new stores will offer their owners the opportunity to be guided into building a successful business.

"The company's business model has been seen to work with us fast approaching our 600th store in Australia and New Zealand," Bush says.

"We are committed to helping everyday Kiwis to launch profitable and fun businesses in every corner of the country - assisting them every step of the way."

Bush says the training new Domino's business owners receive is hugely beneficial in ensuring they thrive in their new endeavour.

"Launching a business doesn't need to be intimidating if the new owners receive the right assistance and have the leaders of the pizza industry on board.

"This exciting opportunity will see New Zealanders looking for a chance to join the business sector receive unrivalled ongoing training and guidance.

"New franchisees have six weeks' of training in running a store from actually making the pizzas, to hiring staff, local marketing and undertaking financial management," he says.

"As a franchisee, Domino's store owners become a part of a national support network which is committed to success and growth."

"This support also includes site selection, lease negotiation, store fit out, coordination of suppliers, group purchasing power, store appraisals, continual training and marketing promotions," says Bush.

"It's a great time to join the team, with Domino's plans to refurbish more than 60 stores across the country in the 2013-14 year," he says.

"Ten stores have already been converted to a new 'Entice' store design, which offers customers a more interactive experience with the food-making process."

Bush says Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd (Domino's Pizza) is the largest pizza chain in New Zealand in terms of both network store numbers and network sales.

"We have more than 12,54 stores in six countries and are the largest Master Franchisee for the Domino's brand in the world outside of the United States, including outlets in France, Belgium and The Netherlands," says Bush.

With an investment of $450,000 to $500,000, a prospective franchisee can join the company and benefit from its comprehensive training programme, he says.
