The Domino’s Pizza franchise in the United States has accepted criticism about their pizza’s and have totally reworked their products to make a tastier pizza experience.
The American franchise of Domino’s Pizza has recently been hit with a lot of criticism from cardboard tasting crusts, processed cheeses and sauce that tasted like ketchup.
Domino’s has taken the steps to take the criticism on board and instead of letting it get to them, they decided to use these negative comments to rebuild the way the make pizza, with a brand new crust, shredded cheese and a spice fill sauce.
Here is a video that Domino’s have released that is a really brave step in the right direction:
Art Bartlett, the founder of real estate franchise Century 21, died in California on December 31 at the age of 76 years old.
Bartlett had battled Alzheimer’s disease as well as other illnesses and died at his Coronado home in San Diego County on New Year’s Eve, his daughter Stacy Bartlett Renshaw said.
Art changed the landscape of the residential real estate sales industry by helping small independent brokers unite under the Century 21 real estate franchise, allowing them to share advertising, training, contracting and selling.
“Correct or not, consumers have confidence in the big, brand name,” Bartlett told the Los Angeles Times in 1982. Art believed that he could provide local brokers with a national brand in the Century 21 real estate franchise.
Art Bartlett sold Century 21 in 1979 to Trans World Corp. for $89 million and Today, Century 21 has more than 120,000 sales agents in 7,700 franchise offices across the globe, making it one of the largest real estate franchise systems in the world!
In addition to his daughter, Bartlett is survived by his wife, Nancy; his stepson, Larry Wells; granddaughter, Bella Collette Renshaw; brother, Ray, and sister, Millie Schneider.
Retail Food Group Ltd has repurchased the Brumbies Bakery master franchises for Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
This deal, in addition the acquisition of the North Queensland and New Zealand Master Franchises, takes the Retail Food Group’s (RFG) acquired territories to 4 this financial year.
RFG’s CEO, Tony Alford said the two latest purchases, were a valuable acquisition for the group. With “The combined Brumby’s WA and NT master franchise territories achieve the highest average weekly sales in Australia,” Mr Alford said.
The agreement is scheduled to be completed before February 20, 2010, with the recently reacquired North Queensland and New Zealand areas have an expected settlement expected before January 16.
RFG now has aquired all Australian and New Zealand master franchise and licence rights for the Brumbies Franchise except for a relatively small Brumby’s South Australian master franchise territory.
Meanwhile, RFG is still completing due diligence on it’s purchases of DCM Coffee & Donuts, and Big Daddy Pies.
An advertisement by KFC Australia in it’s ‘Cricket Survival Guide’ series has been slammed as racist by US Viewers.
The ad depicting ‘Mick’, a white Australian at a cricket match surrounded by West Indies fans has been gaining a lot of flack for being racist, with the above Youtube video already with over 3,000 comments.
Critics are saying that KFC is perpetuating a stereotype that African Americans eat a lot of fried chicken, News Ltd reports.
KFC Australian however, have defended their advertisement, saying that the ad was not intended for the US where “a culturally based stereotype exists”.
Sadly this latest claim comes just months after the ‘Hey Hey, It’s Saturday’ Black Faces Skit about Michael Jackson, which generated widespread outrage, internationally.
With Australia Day just around the corner, Barbeques Galore ambassador (and world famous celebrity chef), Ben O’Donoghue says:
“Nothing beats a great barbeque on Australia Day”. “Everyone loves to get outside in Summer, and turning your space into an outdoor oasis is as easy as visiting a Barbeques Galore store”.
However you like to celebrate Australia Day, whether it’s a quiet beer on the balcony or a lazy arvo of basking in the backyard, taking a picnic to the beach or jostling for space on a public BBQ in the park, Barbeques Galore have an unbeatable range of BBQ’s, furniture, fuel and accessories to cover all your outdoor entertaining needs.
Ben O’Donoghue, quintessential Aussie recipes for the ultimate Australia Day barbeque:
Never leave your post:
This is the golden rule when barbequing, unless of course you can hand the tongs to some one you can really trust.
Spice it up:
Add some different flavours by using rubs, spices and barbeque glazes to brush on your meat or fish when finished cooking.
Try different techniques:
Create an impact – visually and on your taste buds – by smoking with wood chips or fresh herbs. Indirect cooking is a great way to utilise this technique.
It’s all about timing:
Try cooking a staggered menu so you don’t end up flapping about when it all goes on at once. This way you won’t lose all the heat in the barbeque and it won’t end up messy, burnt or raw. Try slow cooking a larger joint or cut of meat with indirect heat and smoke before resting the meat – then apply more heat and direct grill smaller cuts or other items.
Don’t forget the sides:
Create a range of dips and small items for guests like garlic bread, bruschettas or even quesadillas.
Choose the right barbeque:
It’s essential to get this right and I recommend the Beefmaster Premium 4 available exclusively from Barbeques Galore. It gives a rare combination of performance and affordability and has a handy side burner which allows the freedom to cook soups, sauces and stir-fry’s.
So what are you waiting for? Cook up a good Aussie BBQ this Australia Day!
If you are not planning a BBQ, then you may want to consider this video:

With the planned takeover of a Belgium based pizza chain, Pizza Company – which includes 15 stores in Belgium, Domino’s will take it’s Belgian store count to 31. These stores, plus the 150 further stores that it has throughout France, Belgium and the Netherlands, put’s the Australian franchise in place to be number 1 pizza delivery company – by number of store fronts, in Belgium.
Due to the recession and freezing temperatures keeping people at home, rivals have been seeing a 10% increase in business – due to the ease of online ordering.
Domino’s CEO Don Meij said that ‘”Our strategy is for organic growth, but we will always consider quality businesses if they are presented to us,”
Aiming to be a national brand in Belgium, Dominos is set to open more than 50 new stores in 2010.
The major competition comes from rival Pizza Hut and other fast-food franchises which has seen good growth over the past year.
Fifty franchisees of tool franchise, Snap On Tools, raised over $30,000 in support of the Movember charity campaign this year.
In support of Beyond Blue and the Prostate Cancer Foundation, Movember is a month long campaign that not only focuses on raising money, but also to raise awareness and promote early detection.
Shane Bruni, the Cairns franchisee of Snap On Tools, was the stand out performer, raising about $18,000 through raffle tickets and sausage sizzles. A fantastic result in itself, however Shane’s efforts also encouraged a customer to visit the doctor for a checkup and was diagnosed with the early stages of prostate cancer – which can be treated due to the early detection.
“My father had a prostate cancer scare, but early detection was the key. I just think raising awareness to encourage Australian men to get regular check-ups is so important.” Shane said.
