History of Domino’s Pizza

Domino’s Pizza was founded in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1960 by Tom and James Monaghan. The two brothers bought a small store for only $500 and started the now known as Domino’s Pizza. James Monaghan sold his share of the store after six months to his brother Tom for a used Volkswagen Beetle. The very first franchise was opened in Ypsilanti, Michigan and today there are over thousands of Domino’s Pizza all over America and 1,500 international locations. Tom Monaghan sold 93 per cent of the business to Bain Capital and retired in 1998 and they named David A.
