Franchisees have become disgruntled at the franchisor's decision to split geographical territories, resulting in new stores being less profitable. The Domino's Franchise Association U.K and Ireland which represents around 90% of the UK franchisees, has stated that its members will not open any more U.K stores until the issues are resolved. With all of this in-house turmoil to deal with, its not surprising that the pizza chain may be struggling to improve its numbers. Pizza chain Prezzo also announced last year a plan to close 100 restaurants U.K wide. Pizza is also now no longer the most popular takeaway cuisine in the U.K, in third place behind Chinese and Indian food.
