Domino’s Pizza has seen sales surge in the UK and Ireland as demand for takeaways jumped during the coronavirus lockdown (Tim Goode/PA)Domino’s Pizza has seen sales surge in the UK and Ireland as demand for takeaways jumped during the coronavirus lockdown. But it has since restarted contact-free collections as lockdown restrictions have eased and said trading in the first few weeks of the second half has been “encouraging”. It is expecting to book another £2 million in coronavirus-related costs in the second half, it added. Dominic Paul, chief executive of Domino’s Pizza Group, said it was a “resilient” first-half performance. “While trading in the first few weeks of the second half has been encouraging, it is too early to conclude on how consumer behaviour will evolve,” he said.
