Update on efficiencies from new commissary

Domino's Pizza UK & IRL plc ("Domino's" or "the Company"), the leading pizza delivery company in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, today announces details of the anticipated efficiency savings from its new commissary at West Ashland, Milton Keynes. The announcement is ahead of an analysts' tour of the facility today and a similar tour for investors is taking place tomorrow , 27 May 2010.

The Company expects  annualised efficiency savings in the first full financial year ending  December 2011 to be approximately £1m and anticipates that these savings will then rise in each following year.

Final testing of the new facility is well underway and we anticipate full production commencing from early July 2010 as planned.

The Company will announce its results for the 26 weeks ended 27 June 2010 on 12 July 2010 when it will provide a further update on trading.
