Domino’s Pizza has been steadily increasing their advertising expenditure in the United States, which has grown year on year since 2012, to reach a total of 428 million U.S. dollars in 2019. This figure constitutes a 103.8 percent increase in spending over the measured period.
Domino’s Pizza
Domino’s Pizza was originally founded in 1960 in Ypsilanti, a small city just outside Ann Arbor, Michigan. From three fully-owned stores in 1965, the first franchised Domino’s location opened in 1967, leading to rapid growth whereby there were 200 stores across the U.S. as of 1978. In 1983 the first international Domino’s store was opened in Winnipeg, Canada, and by 1995 there were 1,000 Domino’s locations in various countries outside of the U.S. Company founder Tom Monaghan eventually sold the Domino’s for around one billion U.S. dollars in 1998, and in 2004 the company was listed in the New York stock exchange. By 2019 the total number of Domino’s locations worldwide had reached 17,020.
‘U.S. quick service restaurants’
Domino’s is one the most recognizable fast food brands in the world, with only industry giants McDonalds, Starbucks, Subway and KFC having a higher global brand value. This brand recognition has an associated cost, however. Of all fast food chains, Domino’s had the second-highest advertising spend in the U.S. for 2019 – despite many other chains having more stores and higher sales figures.
