PIZZA delivery chain Domino's Pizza yesterday reported a 46 per cent jump in profits as it began to reap the benefits of its expansion drive.
The group, which is the franchisee in the UK and Ireland for US group Domino's, said it opened 18 new stores in the half-year to June 30, bringing store numbers up to 255.
It is planning to reach a target of 500 stores by the end of 2006 and said it was looking for a second site in Darlington and another in Newcastle with the possibility of up to 40 jobs being created.
