Strava Group has strengthened its Domino’s Pizza franchise footprint in Scotland after securing a seven-figure funding package from NatWest to acquire 14 additional stores.
The deal takes the group’s portfolio to more than 40 outlets across England and Scotland and forms part of an ambitious strategy to operate 75 Domino’s stores nationwide.
The expansion marks a significant milestone for managing director Rickey Sharma, who began his journey with Domino’s in 2007 and became a franchisee in 2012. His leadership and operational expertise have driven consistent growth, positioning Strava as one of the most dynamic players in the UK’s competitive pizza delivery market. Sharma said the acquisition would not only fuel business growth but also create opportunities for young people to build careers in the sector.
NatWest, which has supported Strava’s franchise development since 2024, hailed the group’s vision and commitment to the Domino’s brand. Relationship manager Andy Croasdell said the funding package reflected confidence in Strava’s long-term strategy and its ability to scale successfully.
As Britain’s biggest bank for business, NatWest continues to play a pivotal role in backing franchise operators and growth-focused companies. With Strava Group’s latest acquisition enhancing its operational reach and efficiency, the business is well placed to accelerate expansion while maintaining the high service standards associated with Domino’s.
