Domino's Pizza (Ann Arbor, MI) recognizes the significance of new ingredients. In 1999, the business traded 360 million pizzas and come to $3.36 billion in sales. In the United States, Domino's circulation partition double-checks that its 18 DCs (distribution centres) are not ever overstocked or run out of new ingredients. These DCs provide more than 4,500 Domino's Pizza outlets with pieces for example pizza dough, dressings, toppings, and even cartons for the pizza. (Osterman, 2009)
