*** Quoting Spectre from a message to Nightfox ***

There are a lot of them in my area.. I didn't think they had gone anywhere.

Woah, wonder where you are, I don't think I've seen one in 30
years....

There's a lot of them all over Canada as well. Though in recent years
they've got to a smaller take-out only form factor instead of the traditional dine-in restaurant. We do still have one dine-in location here in my city though.

The first thing that fell over here was the restaurants.. I don't recall why exactly, but they changed to the delivery model and that went gang busters
for a while. Later we had a pizza glut here, mum & dad pizza stores on every corner pretty much, around this time Dominos turned up here too.

The glut put pressure on pricing, a lot of them eventually shut up shop. As Dominos arrived Pizza Hut held the bulk of the market, and decided Dominos would dry up and blow away. Whatever Dominos did though they eventually took mose of the delivery business too. A couple of years down the track and
Pizza Hut was pretty much gone in Victoria.

There's more around than I realised, to be honest I have no idea where they might be hiding, I would stick by not having seen one in 30 years.

Dominos dominated by embracing technology afaik - specifically at the time embracing online ordering. Their online ordering was pretty neat at the time, and worked properly. I don't think Pizza Hut had anything to respond with.

..at least that's my recollection as a customer.

I think Domino's was just the cheapest option. I remember they only had one pizza size, and you could get one for $5. The pizza wasn't that great, but I suspect they won purely on price and location.
