Domino’s shuts down in CBD
DOMINO’S Pizza outlet in Macrossan Street has permanently closed its doors to the public.
Inquiries to the franchiser as to the reason for the closure were not directly answered.
The Gazette understands there are generally confidentiality agreements in place between former franchisees and franchisers in this country, though Domino’s could not confirm this was applicable to their franchisees in time for publication.
A Domino’s spokesman told the newspaper: “We can confirm that Domino’s Port Douglas closed its doors on Monday, January 13, 2025.
“With no nearby Domino’s stores in the immediate area, we are unable to provide service in the area and apologise for any inconvenience caused to the local community,” he said.
“The nearest Domino’s store is located at 23/55 Endeavour Rd, Clifton Beach, QLD, 4879.”
Several locals, who wished to remain anonymous, had varying views on the recent closure.
“It’s definitely a shame as it was always a great easy option for our kids’ sleepovers or when we’d host footy nights,” said one resident.
“I’m not too (worried), it was a cheap alternative but Port Douglas has some great pizzerias still,” said another.
Another local said: “I’ve never been a big Domino’s fan so I’m not too fazed, I’ve always been happy to support local businesses rather than a chain.”
Regarding the possibility of the company opening another store locally, the spokesman said: “Domino’s remains committed to exploring new opportunities to serve the Port Douglas community with hot and fresh pizzas again in the future.”
