THE eagerly anticipated new Domino's store in Honiton opened this morning.

89 Honiton High Street opened its doors officially at 11am on Monday (March 17) The first customer came in at 10.45am and was treated to free pizza. The winning members of the public were Elite Construction.

The national pizza chain has in-store and delivery options to Honiton and the surrounding villages, excluding Ottery St Mary.

Store manager said: "We are very excited today, It has been quite busy as we opened, and we are expecting it to get busier throughout the day and into this evening. People were dismissive of the store first-hand with big chains coming to town, but today and leading up to the opening people were knocking on the door and asking us on social media when are we opening. So its been great.

"Domino’s Honiton IS OPEN. We can’t wait to see you all & a huge shout out to our first 'customers' from Elite Construction.

"Codes for £6 pizzas are still going out, all successful registrations should receive theirs by 1pm. We have received a lovely welcome from the Honiton residents and wish to serve the community more with delicious pizza and friendly staff.

"As it’s our first week, if things don’t go perfectly, please send us a DM and we will put things right. If things go well, please take the time to leave us a review on Facebook or Google. It means a lot to the team to hear positive feedback. We hope to see all you lovely people of Honiton in store soon."
