Market town to get its first Domino's pizza takeaway

The fast food giant has said it has “ambitious targets” for new store openings and is focused on “achieving a record number each year”.

Last June, hundreds of pizza lovers descended to Lawley as Domino's opened a new store in the Telford & Wrekin town.

To mark the Lawley Square store opening, the branch gave away 1,000 free pizzas after handing out golden tickets in the town.

Next month, the pizza chain is also opening a new branch in Newport, at the site of former fish and chip shop, Zach's Plaice.

Now Domino's has said it is "delighted" that it is planning to open another new store in Shropshire, this time in one of the county's historic market towns, and it also eyeing up sites at another historic Shropshire area.

The pizza giant has confirmed to the Shropshire Star that it is planning to open a new store this summer in – Bridgnorth.

It will be the town's first branch and the new Domino's will be open in the High Street, next door to another fast food giant.

Greggs confirmed last year that it will be opening its second Bridgnorth store in the unit vacated by fashion retailer M&Co, which fell into administration. And the new Domino's is set to open right next door to the new bakery.

A date for the new pizza store opening has not been set, but shop-fitters are understood to be currently working at the store.

A spokesperson for Domino's said they expect it to be open in the spring.

The spokesperson added: “We’re delighted to be opening a new store in Bridgnorth later in spring, bringing our fresh homemade pizzas to even more loyal customers.”

Following this latest store announcement, Domino's has said it is also eyeing Oswestry in Shropshire as a location for a possible new store and is looking for "highly visible, prominent locations" in the town.

It is one of more than 100 UK towns that the company is looking to expand into to add to its current 1,300 branches nationwide.
