Most evenings folks in the qathet region see Domino's Pizza drivers zipping around town in their cars delivering freshly made pizza to customers. Franchise owner Gurpreet Sidhu opened the location at 105-4871 Joyce Avenue in Powell River almost three years ago, and at the moment employs 18 staff members.
"I like this town; I used to come here for camping," said Sidhu. "I have worked for Domino's Pizza for the past 15 years, first as a delivery driver, then manager and general manager."
Sidhu put forward the idea of opening a location in qathet and [management] gave him the go ahead. Now he is a franchise owner with another location in Squamish.
"Many customers like our deluxe pizza offerings, such as the barbecue chicken, Hawaiian and chicken-bacon alfredo," said Sidhu. "On most Friday nights we deliver between 700 and 800 pizzas."
The busy Domino's crew behind the counter, in the kitchen and in delivery vehicles work together with technology to get the orders out on time and made fresh.
"We also give back to the community," said Sidhu. "For example, most schools in the area sell our pizza at a discounted rate in order to raise funds for programs."
Sidhu said he plans to stay in qathet long term and that he likes the laid back feel of the region.
"I bought a house, I have a dog and my parents live here," said Sidhu.
