History
Domino's Pizza was founded in the United States in 1960 by a man
called Tom Monaghan.
With $500 in his pocket, Tom joined forces with his brother and
together they opened a pizza delivery store in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
They named it DomiNicks.
A year later, Tom traded his Volkswagen Beetle car for his brother's
share of the store and later renamed his business Domino's Pizza.
The three dots on our logo represent the three stores that Tom originally
planned to open.
Through a little known format now called franchising, Tom allowed
other people to invest in opening their own Domino's Pizza stores.
By doing so he expanded the Domino's chain right round the globe,
creating the worlds leading pizza delivery company and the eighth
largest fast food brand in the world.
He retired in 1998, giving the majority of the $1bn he made through
the sale of Domino's to charity.
