The London Stock Exchange congratulates Domino’s Pizza on its transfer from AIM to the Main Market.
Domino’s Pizza UK & IRL PLC has been admitted to the Main Market with Ordinary Shares of 1.5625 pence. Based on this, the market capitalisation on admission was approximately £350 million.
The Domino’s brand was founded in the United States of America in 1960 by Tom Monaghan. Since then, that business has grown into a global network of over 8,000 stores in more than 50 countries, employing around 170,000 staff and involving over 2,000 franchises.
Domino’s Pizza Group Ltd, a subsidiary of Domino’s Pizza UK & IRL plc, is the master franchisee in the UK and Ireland of Domino’s Pizza, one of the world’s leading home delivery pizza brands. The company has developed to become the leading UK home delivery pizza brand. Since the first store opened in the UK in 1985 and in Ireland in 1991, the Group has expanded to 501 stores.
Stephen Hemsley, Executive Chairman, of Domino’s Pizza commented:
"AIM has served us well since 1999, and through this move to the Main Market we look forward to broadening our investor base further as we work towards our long term goal of 1,000 stores in the UK and Ireland”.
