The brand first opened in India in 1996.
Domino’s has reached its 2,000th restaurant milestone in India.

Domino’s is often the first international chain to enter new cities like Sasaram, Sultanpur, Madikeri, Girdih and Baramati. The company continues to creatively expand its store presence across multi-tier cities in the form of High-street stores, mall stores, highways, colleges and airport terminals.
“We are humbled to achieve the milestone of 2000 stores in India making us the first QSR in India to cross this mark. We expect to add 180 stores of Domino’s in the current financial year,” Sameer Khetarpal, CEO & MD of Jubilant FoodWorks Limited, the operator of Domino’s India said.
