Domino's Pizza: A Slice of Success
In the world of pizza, there are few names as well known as Domino’s. With the reputation of being at the forefront of technology and unique marketing strategies.
The story of Domino’s begins with the story of its owners, Tom and Jim Monaghan.
As Tom’s father died in 1940 when he was young, he spent most of his time in an orphanage or bounced around the houses of his relatives.
However, his situation only strengthened his ambitions of being successful. When money and investments were not popular, Tom’s futuristic vision made him invest his savings into something that could make a profit.
So, in 1960, the young entrepreneur purchased a restaurant in Ypsilanti, Michigan, with his brother Jim. The local pizza restaurant was called DomiNick’s, and Tom Monaghan took a $900 loan to buy it!
By 1985 Domino’s opened it’s doors in the UK. Now the most recognised pizza brand and here we are 30 years later!
