Domino 'S Pizza, Inc., the world's largest pizzeria by retail sales, has more than 21,300 stores in more than 90 markets worldwide as of December 29, 2024. Founded in 1960, the company is rooted in convenient pizza-delivery, while a large portion of its sales also come from takeaway customers. Although the company is a highly recognized global brand, it focuses on serving the local community through a large global network of franchise owners and stores owned by American companies. The company is primarily a franchisee, with approximately 98% of Domino's stores currently owned and operated by independent franchisees. Franchising enables individuals to be their own employers and maintain control over all employment-related matters and pricing decisions, while also benefiting from the strength of Domino's global brand, operating system and financial resources.
