We are excited to see American brands here and businesses that increase relations between the two countries. I am sure Domino’s Pizza will be as successful here as it is elsewhere in the world,” said Nystrom.

Eric Anderson, Domino’s Pizza representative from Europe, Middle East and Africa, proudly expressed the brand’s pleasure at opening another restaurant in Tbilisi.

“We are very excited about Georgia. Tbilisi is a fantastic city and we felt we needed to be here, to be a part of Georgia. We are very proud to have two restaurants here. Domino’s Pizza wants to be number one in the world and in the region. We will keep opening restaurants not only in Tbilisi but throughout the country,” Anderson said.

Mikheil Alkhanishvili, Franchiser: “We started our business in the Vake-Saburtalo District and plan to open restaurants in every densely populated area here as well as in other large towns [throughout the country]. By autumn we expect to open a third restaurant. We have already employed 60 people and that number will increase as other restaurants open.”
