When John Felico started Dominic's of New York in 1995, it wasn't too surprising he also chose to operate a food cart. Dominic's sells Italian sausages and a variety of sandwiches at stores, malls and ballparks.
Dominic's of New York has a long-term contract with Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse to place kiosks at many of their locations nationwide.
