DPC Dash Ltd

DPC Dash Ltd, Domino's Pizza's exclusive master franchisee in China, reported a 20.8% revenue increase and a 22.9% profit growth, with store count reaching 1,550. The company also saw transaction volumes rise 33.7%, underscoring China's role as a key contributor to Domino's international growth. This performance aligns with Domino's strategy of urban densification and franchise-led expansion, though analysts note risks from slower international unit growth and franchisee economics. The results provide a live read on how Domino's global network converts into underlying business activity in one of the largest quick-service food markets.

Domino's Pizza announced that Chief Operating Officer Joe Jordan will take over as CEO, succeeding Russell Wiener who plans to retire. The leadership change comes as the company sees renewed store expansion momentum in China through its master franchisee DPC Dash, including additional locations, digital initiatives, and improved sales trends. The transition places fresh attention on Domino's global growth plans and the role of international markets in the company's long-term direction.

DPC Dash, Domino's Pizza's exclusive master franchisee in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, reported its store count reached 1,550 across 75 cities as of June 30, 2026, after adding 235 net new stores in the first half. The company said its net new stores, stores under construction and stores signed represented approximately 89% of the full-year 2026 store opening target, up from 65% as of March 31. While same-store sales growth remained negative in the second quarter, May and June turned slightly positive following sales initiatives. Loyalty program membership grew to 41.9 million from 30.1 million a year earlier. DPC Dash also announced a strategic partnership with shopping mall operator SCPG Group and the appointment of Joanne Xie as Chief Marketing Officer.
