A new Domino’s Pizza outlet is set to open at the M5 Junction 26 business park in Chelston, Somerset, after receiving planning approval. The establishment will operate from a pod, joining a competitive food scene that already includes McDonald’s, KFC, Costa, and Subway.
This development follows Greggs' decision to withdraw from plans to open a ‘food to go’ pod at the Wellington Service Station site, which Domino’s has now taken over. According to Domino’s planning submission, their extensive menu offers lighter meals and lunchtime options ideal for visitors to the nearby charging hub, alongside their signature pizzas available for advance collection or local delivery.
The location is part of a lively mixed-use business park with strong connections to local employment centers and residential areas, positioning the new outlet as a convenient service for the community. The planning documents highlight the site’s blend of commercial and retail activities, noting existing establishments like McDonald’s drive-thru and other food and beverage outlets nearby.
