    About Domino's Pizza

    In 1960, brothers Tom and James Monaghan borrowed $500 to purchase DomiNick's, a pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The next year, James traded his half of the business to Tom for a Volkswagen Beetle. In 1965, Tom Monaghan renamed the company Domino's Pizza LLC. The first Domino's Pizza franchise store opened in Ypsilanti, Michigan, in 1967. Tom Monaghan retired in 1998, selling 93 percent of the company to Bain Capital. In addition to regular, pan and thin-crust pizza, Domino's products include bread sticks and buffalo wings. Domino's Pizza operates more than 6,000 stores in the United States, Canada, Europe and Africa.

    The total investment ranges from $144,450 to $582,500 for a Domino's Pizza Traditional Store and $101,450 to $573,500 for a Domino's Pizza Non-Traditional Store.
