Domino’s has restructured its franchise department to handle increased demand from wannabe franchisees.
Pat McMichael has been promoted to chief development and franchising officer. He will oversee the recruitment of franchisees to fill existing store opportunities, as well as creating new store development projects.
Prior to his promotion, McMichael was franchise development manager for Australia and New Zealand.
McMichael says that Domino’s was currently experiencing a surge in prospective franchisee enquiries following the company’s strong results for the last 12 months. The company posted a 16% increase in net profit to $17.8 million in 2009-10, with same-store sales up 2.8%.
Domino’s is looking to open 23 new franchises within the financial year.
