i put how there were high barriers to entry as it was an oligopoly but then i put that it was almost a monopoly because domino's have over 25% which the EU classify as a monopoly (i wasn't sure about this rip) so they were in a strong position as they can make high profits

i also put there was high competition and substitutes but because they have a strong brand identity this prevents there profits from falling too much so they are still in a strong position in the market

i also put that there is not much supplier power as there will likely be a lot of supplier so domino's can try and achieve economies of scale

basically i ********ted:lol:
