Domino's® Opens Its First Store in Austria

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 13, 2017

The local franchisee, Daufood Austria GmbH, is a subsidiary of Cobega Group, which also owns Domino's stores in Portugal. Cobega Group, one of the largest family companies in Spain, is the main shareholder of Coca-Cola Iberian Partners – the Coca-Cola bottler for Spain and Portugal. The company's business experience and commitment to the brand makes it well-positioned to develop Domino's into a leading pizza company in Austria. 

The new pizza theater store features an open-concept design, so customers can watch as their pizzas are freshly made and baked before their eyes. The management team is focused on consistent and timely delivery for the local community, as well as convenience for carryout customers. The store also highlights Domino's digital experience, as it offers online ordering and an easy-to-use ordering kiosk in the store.

"We are proud of Domino's new stores all over the world, and the beautiful pizza theater in Vienna is no exception," said Ritch Allison, president of Domino's International. "We are steadily growing and attracting new customers around the globe to our dynamic brand, and we are pleased to bring the fun and art of pizza making to the people of Vienna."

Domino's now operates in more than 85 markets worldwide, with more than half of its global retail sales coming from international stores.
