There is only one company out there that has almost 9,000 stores that delivers more than 1 million pizzas a day. It’s Domino’s. Using the same recipe for almost 50 years and focusing on the same mission “to be the best pizza delivery company in the world”
Domino’s has a long story since it’s beginning. Tom Monaghan and his brother James grew up in orphanage in Michigan. In 1960 they bought a pizza shop near Eastern Michigan University near Ypsilanti, called DomiNick’s for $500 each. They had an idea that delivering hot pizza to college students could bring them a lot of money, and the idea was right. But it didn’t take long before James decided to get out of pizza business and traded his part of the store for Tom’s second-hand car. By 1967 DomiNick’s pizza was renamed to Domino’s and Tom’s one small store had expanded throughout the entire state of Michigan. Tom decided to focus only on simple product line and pizza delivery. There was no table service available, simply to keep the cost low. Within ten years the company had opened over two hundred stores in the U.S. In the early 1980’s Domino’s owned it’s first international store and it’s 1000th store. By 1989 the number of stores had grown to 5000. A few were company run, but the majority were owned and operated by franchisees. Over the next years company had grown to thousands of locations worldwide and by March of 2010 Domino’s opens it’s 9000th store worldwide.
