Stupid decision IMO, but the company is a delivery company.

You dont actually go to get the pizza, so the 2 miles thing is a bit moot. The only real change may be the phone number needed to order.

As I said, bad decision though.

They could have sold Halal meat AND the original meat side by side.

Restaurant serving things they think their customer wants to buy shocker?

Oh, must be The Sun.

A quick business search on yell.com shows five other pizza takeaways in a one mile radius of this one. Anyone doesn’t like what they’re selling they can go elsewhere. If the restaurant has made an unpopular move, they lose money.

Oh, must be The Sun.

AND the Telegraph

AND the Daily Mail.

And....

First halal only Domino’s opens Express & Star

and about 20 others at the moment.

It's something that would certainly pass unnoticed by everyone if it were only a matter of a "Restaurant serving things they think their customer wants to buy" but it's only being noted by numerous established, non-tabloid news sources because of the muslim angle to the story, which of course you're welcome to dismiss as irrelevant if you like.

This mindset isn't exclusive to Dominoes.

SubWay also have sneaked halal, covertly into their menus here in Britain.

That's very interesting, and thank you for the link.  One part of that linked page especially caught my eye:

In the US, there are Halal stores already open that are doing great business and are very popular.

I looked at the US Subway site, and there isn't any mention of their halal stores anywhere! So it seems it's at least as much if not more of a 'stealth' operation here as in the UK.

(Welcome to FR by the way :-))

Thanks for the welcome Stoat.

Is there no mention of halal on SubWay US literature?

I only found out by looking up what the tiny little logo was on the refrigerator in SubWay restuarants.



The ritual barbaric slaughter of animals is something I have zero tolerance on, I'm not a Vegan or anything, but believe that we should take every concievable step to ensure the least amount of suffering with animal slaughter.
