Domino’s has officially opened the doors of its fifth supply chain centre in Avonmouth near Bristol as part of a strategic investment into future capacity and long-term growth.
The new site, referred to as ‘SCC5′, supports an additional 1,000 deliveries per week to stores in the South West and Wales.
Without this added capacity, Domino’s Pizza would have reached its limits within the next two years.
The centre will serve up to 600 stores once fully optimised and strengthen the company’s supply chain network resilience through greater operational flexibility.
The move forms part of a strategy to grow the pizza giant’s core business across the UK and Ireland.
Backed by £25 million, the site will be fully kitted out with ‘next-gen’ automation by early 2027. This will see advanced handling systems rolled out, aimed at improving accuracy, efficiency and consistency in loading and unloading boxes.
“SCC5 is an important investment in our infrastructure, giving us capacity, efficiency, and the resilience we need to support our growing business,” said Peter Trundley, chief supply chain officer at Domino’s Pizza Group.
“It adds meaningful headroom as we continue to expand, while automation will help us operate more efficiently and maintain the consistently high service levels our franchise partners rely on.
“By strengthening the flexibility of our network, SCC5 ensures we are well positioned to support long-term growth and continue delivering for customers across the UK and Ireland.”
Domino’s supply chain is an important part of its ecosystem, ensuring that its franchise partners remain competitive. The group has invested in its supply chain for more than 40 years; claiming to consistently achieve 99.5% order accuracy and 99.99% availability of its ingredients.
