Today, Dominos Pizza opened over 8000 franchise including over 3000 international stores and over 5000 stores in the US. It ranks among the worlds top public restaurant brands. On the same year, Dominos Pizza celebrates its 1000th store. Founded in 1960, Dominos Pizza is the largest pizza company in the world, with a significant business in both delivery and carryout pizza. In 1988, Tom was retired and sold Dominos Pizza for nearly 1 billion dollars to Bain Capital, Inc.īefore Tom was retired, Dominos Pizza opened their first international store in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1983. On that time, the store was named as “Dominick’s Pizza”, however, the name was changed to Dominos Pizza after James traded half of the share with his old Volkswagen Beetles to Tom in 1965.Īfter the first franchise store opened in Ypsilanti in 1967, the idea by adding each dot for every store was introduced.Īs I said before this idea become impractical as Domino’s experience a rapid growth and by 1978, Domino’s Pizza opened their 200th store. They borrowed $500 with a $75 down payment to take over the store. In the early days they purchased a small pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The two brothers, Tom Monaghan and James, founded dominos Pizza in 1960. On the first thought when I saw the dots on Dominos pizza emblem was three sliced of ham laying on top of the pizza, and I am wrong. Imagine Dominos Pizza opened their 20th store and that idea was still in practice. The plan was adding each dot for every new store, however, this idea was impractical as the spaces for adding the dots was limited. The dots on Dominos Pizza logo symbolize the first three Domino’s store.
