Domino’s Pizza Inc. is a leading retailer of pizzas with about 12,000 stores as well as operations in 80 international markets. The company’s sales in 2014 amounted to $89 billion which was a significant success that earned that company Top 10 listing in the Entrepreneur magazine’s listing of great franchise opportunities.

John Schnatter took the basic concept of product differentiation and positioning to new heights as he created a strong global brand, which had an unprecedented track record of success and customer loyalty over its competitor’s pizza products.
