Domino's Pizza International
Fun Facts
Around the World:
Did you Know…
Hong Kong
Delivery times are primarily influenced by traffic conditions on elevators!
It often takes drivers longer to travel vertically than horizontally,
as access to elevators is so congested during "high peak" hours.
This is due to the volume of people residing in high rises.
Virgin Islands
Drivers use landmarks for addresses because streets are not named in the
Virgin Islands.
Japan
When we opened our first store in Japan in 1985, there was not a word
in the Japanese language for pepperoni. Now pepperoni is one of the most
embraced toppings in Japan.
Buildings in Japan are not numbered sequentially. Addresses are numbered
by the order in which buildings were built. This makes for interesting
delivery and training of our drivers.
Ecuador
Quito, Ecuador is a city of one million people located 8,300 feet above
sea level in the Andes Mountains. It has the highest elevation in Lain
America delivering Domino's Pizza.
Guatemala
A traditional event is the annual "pizza chain" in Guatemala,
last year's chain reached a record 1,250 meters. The event raises money
for literacy in Guatemala.
Jamaica
The first Domino's Pizza store in Jamaica sold 6,000 pizzas in their first
16 days. The favored island topping is pineapple.
India
Domino's has respected the Hindu reverence for the cow by omitting pepperoni,
the beef based topping and replacing it with spicy chicken sausage.
Philippines
Site selection here is based on Feng-Shui services. Feng-Shui is the belief
that businesses prosper with particular building design attributes and
the placement of equipment inside.
Germany
A hot tip when ordering pizza in Germany; choose "pepperoni"
as a topping (you will get Jalapeños).
Iceland
The first store, opened in Reykjavik in 1993, set an opening week world
record selling more than 5,000 pizzas during the first week. Domino's
Pizza franchisees, Gunnar Gudjonsson and Birgir Bieltvedt were recognized
with the Most Pies in the Franchise Award for three of their highly successful
Reykjavik stores. With 1999 annual sales averaging more than $2 million
each, these three stores are the top three busiest Domino's stores in
the world outside of the U.S. These locations also rank second through
fourth overall in business in the world.
The Netherlands
Delivery scooters in the Netherlands are not allowed on the roads, they
use designated bike routes, which are often quicker than travel on the
roadways.
