From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.DOMINO'S Pizza International, the American home delivery pizza franchise, is planning to open 200 outlets in Britain and Ireland over the next four years, writes Neil Thapar.
The expansion is to be spearheaded by the millionaire brothers Colin and Gerry Halpern, who yesterday acquired Domino's UK master franchise from the parent group for an undisclosed sum, believed to be several million pounds.
Before the deal, Domino's directly controlled its 77 franchised outlets in the UK, but it has brought in the brothers to develop the chain further.
The group, which has 5,200 outlets worldwide, first entered the UK market almost 10 years ago.
Born in London, the Halpern brothers have spent most their business careers in US, where they reputedly made a fortune by developing the New York franchise of Budget Car, the rental company.
