Domino's franchisee files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Pizza lovers will have a harder time finding their favorite slice, as an economic downturn in the fast-food pizza dining sector has resulted in major chain franchisees closing 100s of restaurant locations and filing for bankruptcy.

The nation's largest pizza dining chain, Domino's Pizza, is among the pizza giants whose franchisees have filed for bankruptcy

Major pizza chain Papa John's, which has not filed for bankruptcy, announced in its fourth-quarter earnings call that it will close 300 underperforming restaurants, including 200 by the end of 2026. The company did not reveal a deadline for closing the remaining 100.

Papa John's also said it would cut 7% of its workforce.

1. Make it so

[Wonder Why]

2. Then possibly, we'll see more real local pizza joints instead of chain garbage.

5. They tend to be insanely overpriced. n/t

3. At least locally... Papa johns is inedible cardboard.

Dominos reworked their recipe years ago and it pretty good.

Best pizza in my area is Tony's or Winner's

9. The only time I had Domino's, it tasted awful

It made Little Ceasers taste like gourmet. Domino's tasted more like Totinos.......

I personally like Papa John's veggie pizza but I'm boycotting them.

12. I agree... they're much better than before AND when ordering with the app & coupons, it's not a bad deal either.

4. Nobody goes there if they want pizza. These are places people go

if they need something cheap. Especially if it's to feed a large number of people .

But the local independent owned places have the best pizzas.

6. Wrong. The best pizza is made in Naples, Italy.

Nothing in the U.S., chain or "local," compares.

[JI7]

7. Yes, but I'm just talking about the US

[SocialDemocrat61]

8. You've obviously never had New York pizza

voted the best pizza by rats worldwide

10. Domino's are international. They're very popular in India.

11. They make pizza?

I thought they made bad, spongy bread with ketchup and stringy synthetic cheese-like substances spread over the top.

To be fair I haven’t tasted their product in decades.

13. When they ran their recent any-pizza-any-toppings for $10, I got one.

I got no sides, just the pizza. It was a large with pepperoni, mushroom, onion, green pepper and extra cheese. Had they not been running their promotion, it would have run $24. So I do not find this news all that surprising.

14. Such an overblown article for a Dominos franchisee with 18 restaurants in San Diego County that filed for chapter 11

So a franchisee with 18 restaurants is going through Chapter 11 to reorganize its debts. The franchisee operates .25% of the stores nationally and .08% of the total Domino's stores worldwide. There's not even an indication that the stores will be closing - most if not all will stay open during the bankruptcy proceedings or be sold off as assets to another franchisee.

So basically a nonissue.
