"What a great day! I am so proud of the many people who worked hard to reach this milestone for Domino’s Pizza in Canada,” said Mike Schlater, Domino’s Pizza of Canada’s Chief Executive Officer. “Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined celebrating the opening of our 500th store back in 1983 when I opened the first store in Winnipeg.”

Michael Curran, President of Domino’s Pizza of Canada, added: “This is a huge achievement for the entire Canadian Domino’s family, and I am thrilled to share this special milestone alongside our franchisees, their teams, and our valued customers. The hard work and dedication exhibited by our local partners every day in their stores and communities continue to set us apart from our competition.”

Domino’s will celebrate the opening of the store with a ribbon-cutting event today at 11:00 am and will include free pizza, Coca-Cola, games, and prizes. The event is scheduled to last until 4:00 pm. The store is located in Victoria, BC at 3214 Douglas St.
