Just spoke to the new business development manager at Dominos.
I do not know if this is a fob off - This is what I was told.
SE23 is indeed an area where Dominos have pin pointed for expansion, however there are no immediate plans on our property schedule that indicate a store opening in HOP specifically. She went on to say that this could change from week to week as their property people are actively seeking the right unit in the SE23 area...hence why the rumours may have started...she confirmed that she is unaware of this but it is possible the property team have been in contact and been in primary discussions with Wilmotts about this unit.
If a store were to open it could take up to 30 weeks to happen, getting planning permission etc...this opening would not be communicated to the public but it would become obvious over time. She said that if local people wanted to air any concerns whatsoever about an potential opening in HOP they are very welcome to write into the PR Department at the head office address and this will be reviewed and considered.
