While the competition heats up in Beijing at this year's Summer Olympics, there is intense competition among companies keen on attracting the attention of the billions of persons that are tuning in to the Games.

Manufacturing and distribution company Wisynco Group Limited, is to open its second Domino Pizza airport store at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston next week, growing the chain to eight.

The move is part of group managing director William Mahfood's efforts to grow the restaurant side of the company's operations to about 15 per cent of total business.

Mahfood said he chose the airports first to expand the chain because of the high volume of traffic.
