Domino’s shuts due to ‘franchisee struggles’ in Townsville ahead of Christmas

Three Dominos stores have closed due to issues with their franchisees.

The stores, all in Townsville – North Queensland, temporarily closed their doors on December 2.

The franchisee of Dominos Bushland Beach, Dominos Burdell (North Shore) and Dominos Mount Louisa did not think the stores were sustainable.

“Dominos has provided support to all team members affected by this temporary closure and is doing everything we can to reopen the stores as quickly as possible,” a Dominos spokesperson told the newspaper. Herald Sun.

‘We apologize for any inconvenience caused to the local community as a result of the temporary closure of these stores, and we look forward to serving hot and fresh pizzas again soon.’

It is not clear when the stores are likely to open again.

The sudden closure has left the mainly young staff of the stores unemployed a few days before the start of the school holidays.

Dominos announced in August that sales fell by 1.3 percent in the first month of the 2025 financial year.

Fortunately for Dominos fans in Townsville, six stores remain open in Kirwan, West End, Hermit Park, North Ward, Aitkenvale and Fairfield Central.
