Domino's Pizza Sales Squeezed by Gas Costs and Competition
Domino's Pizza reported a slowdown in sales growth, citing high gas costs and increased competition as factors. The company's U.S. same-store sales grew by 0.3% in Q3, a significant decline from previous quarters. This slow growth has led Domino's to scale back its full-year sales outlook, warning that comparable sales growth would remain muted.
Why it matters
The pizza industry is experiencing a broader slump in sales, with Domino's facing increased competition from other food delivery services and changing consumer preferences. Rising gas costs have also impacted consumer spending habits, leading to lower average tickets and fewer items-per-order at Domino's. The company's revised sales outlook reflects these challenges.
