Fuck Domino's. They stayed for a fucking year and half. I hope they lost tons of money. Fucking vile sub-human shitbags.
I mean, to be fair, they stopped all financial support to Russia in 2022 (still took too long). This was just a pre-existing licensing agreement. I doubt they could’ve revoked it. Most people don’t think to put a “must stop operating in any country that commits war crimes” clause in their licensing deals
This is almost like being pissed at Boeing because russia stole their planes.
Fair enough. Still pretty angry about it.
Fucking vile sub-human shitbags.
Sir, this is a pizza place that hires mostly teenagers. There are much greater evils to get sweaty about. This one isn't it.
They actually stopped taking orders, it just took this long to finish their deliveries.
Here it is. The embodiment of the example I gave (before I even saw this lmao) in my responses to the idiots down voting.
Stop attaching morality to stupid fucking brands, people. The capitalists fucking hate you.
You misread the article. It's not Domino's, it's the franchise owner who operates Domino's in Europe.
The title is somewhat misleading
guess they ran out of lube and could no longer deliver in 30 minutes or less.
You have to keep in mind that the Russian government holds workers hostage. The Kremlin literally requires foreign companies to have an office with workers located in Russia just so that the workers can be threatened in order to pressure the company. And most companies care enough about their image to try and prevent headlines like "[Company] allowed workers in Russia to be murdered".
Did it take them that long to figure out the bribes needed to create a subsidiary to continue doing business there without using the name anymore?
So brave.
Please pull out of Germany too. I want Hallo Pizza back.
And Joey's!
Wow. Really quickly done there. /s
These companies are taking even longer:

As in they are still operating as if nothing has happened.
Companies like:
There are a ton more that simply suspended new investment but are still operating.
Sbarro should be allowed to continue in Russia. I've never eaten at a restaurant chain more demoralizing than that.
Sbarro's to the front lines!
Lol, ZTE is a Chinese company. They are 100% not pulling out.
Thank you Dominos for breaking the spirit of the Russian population with your horrible pizzas.
Idk man, I think they're the best fast food pizzas. Better than Pizza Hut or Little Caesars, although Caesars is close
Where does Papa John’s sit in your rankings?
I haven’t had Little Caesar’s in a long time, but Papa John and Domino’s are both pretty solid options, and I like your term calling them “fast food pizza.”
Where does Papa John’s sit in your rankings?
We're talking about pizza here. What relevance does Papa John's have?
I like domino's too. They have an ass wrecking buffalo chicken pizza that I can't get enough of
Then you just have garbage tier pizzas.
In Germany they bought up Hallo Pizza, which was so much better, both in quality and what they offered.
Also, all pizzas are fast food...
Also, all pizzas are fast food…
No, if you sit down in a pizzeria, order a pizza, wait for it to be freshly made, then that's no fast food.
If Domino’s Pizza can end their presence in Russia, when will the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund?
Didn’t they promise to pull out their 51 investments by February 2022?
They finally ran out of frozen dough.
Damn. That's a win for Russia :\
