Plans are to start in Berlin, and grow throughout the entire country.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Yakir Gabay, the founder of the Berlin-based group, manages more than 3,000 residential units and 1 million square feet of commercial property in Germany, as well as more than 80 hotels.  As the leader of Grand City Hotels, Mr. Gabay has overseen the company&#8217;s rapid expansion to become the second largest hotel operator in Germany. This unique and valuable experience will be leveraged with the aggressive development of the Domino&#8217;s Pizza Brand across Germany.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Establishing ourselves in the German market presents a great opportunity for our business,&#8221; said Michael Lawton, Executive Vice President of Domino&#8217;s Pizza International.  &#8220;Mr. Gabay and his partner will be a great fit for Domino&#8217;s. I am confident that his knowledge of multi-unit development and operational excellence in this market are two things that will be critical to the success of our brand.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Gabay&#8217;s partner, Mr. Birgir Thor Bieltvedt, will be CEO of the new Master Franchise. He brings a wealth of proven Domino&#8217;s experience, having previously been the principal shareholder and former CEO of Domino&#8217;s Pizza in Iceland and Denmark. &#8220;Mr. Gabay and I are anxious to leverage the exceptional strength of the Domino&#8217;s Pizza Brand and we are confident that the convenience and quality we deliver will be a great fit for German consumers,&#8221; said Mr. Bieltvedt.<\/p>\n<p>The German market, which consists of 40.7 million households, is a growing market for pizza delivery and Domino&#8217;s plans are for rapid expansion through both corporate and sub-franchised stores.  Germany has the 5th largest economy in the world and the largest economy in Europe.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Domino&#8217;s Pizza will enter Germany by completing a Master Franchise Agreement with the founder of Grand City Property Group and Grand City Hotels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-franchise-news","list-style-post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisezing.com\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisezing.com\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisezing.com\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisezing.com\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisezing.com\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisezing.com\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisezing.com\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisezing.com\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchisezing.com\/franchise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
