Domino's brews up plans to serve west of island by taking over café

Sunday 30 April 2023

Domino's has put forward plans to convert the Common Ground coffee shop at Red Houses into a second branch to bring its pizzas to islanders living in the west.

The proposals – submitted by Domino's Pizza Group PLC – request a change of use from coffee shop to hot food takeaway, as well as various internal and external alterations.

Documents submitted as part of the application explain that the new pizza takeaway would service the west of the island – where the existing St. Helier store does not currently deliver.

"There is a distinct lack of takeaway outlets in close proximity to the west of the island," the supporting statement explains, adding that "there is considered a demonstrable market need to service the west of the island, providing similar facilities in Les Quennevais to that provided in St. Helier".

The supporting statement also says that the new Domino's store also has the potential of providing "additional employment opportunities".

The full planning application can be viewed online. A decision is expected at the end of May.
