DPC Dash added 235 net new Domino’s Pizza stores in China during the first half of 2026. Group revenue rose 20.8 per cent.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30 reached RMB3.13 billion (US$440 million). Net profit rose 22.9 per cent year on year to RMB81 million, supported by a 7.1 per cent lift in same-store transactions.
That buildout took the chain’s network to 1,550 stores across 75 cities. The operator entered 15 new municipal markets during the period.
Pushing Into Lower-Tier Markets
Lower-tier Chinese cities now make up the bulk of the brand’s footprint. The operator runs 1,018 stores outside Tier 1 hubs, compared with 532 locations across primary metropolitan areas.
DPC Dash holds exclusive master franchise rights for Domino’s in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. Chief executive Aileen Wang said the company will focus on lifting average transaction value and expanding customer volume as third-party food delivery subsidies diminish across the sector.
Western fast-food chains in China have redirected capital expenditure away from saturated top-tier cities to capture cheaper real estate and consumer demand in secondary markets. While quick-service competitors battle heavy price discounting on aggregator apps, Domino’s relies on its own delivery network and lower operating costs to protect unit margins.
Pipeline Toward 350 Openings
Between June 30 and August 14, the operator launched another 27 stores across the country.
Another 38 locations are under construction, with 36 additional leases signed or approved. Those sites keep the business on track toward its full-year target of approximately 350 net new store openings.
