Dominos is the first thing that comes to our mind when we think of pizza. This international brand started when two brothers James and Tom Monaghan decided to run an outlet of DomiNick’s, a chain pizza restaurant. Soon, James, who was not so interested in the pizza business, sold his share to Tom for a second-hand Volkswagen Beetle.
Tom later purchased two more pizzerias. Though Tom wanted to use the brand name DomiNick’s, the original owner forbade him to do so. One of Tom’s helpers Jim Kennedy suggested the name Domino’s which he accepted without a second thought. Thus, Domino’s Pizza was born in 1965.
For the next fifteen years, Domino’s followed a traditional model of business; they only delivered pizzas and had a limited menu. Their menus started including non-pizza items only from the 1990s. Since then, there have been more innovations like dine-in restaurants and pizza cars.
