The deal is expected to boost the German joint venture’s market position and increase its store count from 209 to nearly 300-340 in Germany as well as enhance the profitability of former Hallo Pizza stores and existing Domino’s stores.
Approximately 45 stores from either the existing store network or Hallo Pizza are expected to be consolidated over time.
With a national footprint of 170 franchise stores throughout Germany, Hallo Pizza generated network sales of €80.2m for FY16.
