Domino's has announced expansion plans which will see the firm take on around 1,500 new employees over the next year.
The pizza delivery chain plans to open 50 new outlets over the next 12 months as it has been revealed that its like-for-like sales were up by 15 per cent in the first six weeks of 2009.
It is thought that these positive figures are a result of cash-strapped Brits choosing to enjoy a take-away at home rather than going to eat out at restaurants.
Chris Moore, chief executive officer of Domino's, said: "By exceeding their expectations in terms of product quality and speed of delivery... these customers will stay with Domino's when the economy becomes more buoyant."
This news follows yesterday's announcement from fast food chain KFC, which now has £150 million expansion plans in place to create up to 9,000 new jobs.
