Domino’s India has sustained its footprint-led growth strategy across FY24–FY26, expanding from 1,838 stores in 1QFY24 to 2,321 stores by 2QFY26. This represents a net addition of 483 stores, marking one of the fastest QSR rollouts in the country. Growth has been consistent across every quarter, with the brand deepening penetration in Tier 2/3 markets and reinforcing its position as the largest QSR chain in India by store count. The expansion comes amid heightened competitive intensity and rising demand for convenience-led food service formats.
What It Means
The consistent store additions reflect Domino’s confidence in market depth and its delivery-first operating model, which supports profitability even in lower-density trade areas. However, rapid expansion also raises the bar for maintaining unit-level economics-especially as new stores skew toward smaller cities where throughput may be lower. Sustaining momentum will depend on balancing aggressive rollout with operational discipline, controlling cost inflation, and driving order frequency through digital channels and loyalty programs.
