    About Fox's Pizza Den

    Jim Fox started working with pizza when he was 12, hanging around a local pizza shop filling soda machines and folding pizza boxes. In 1971, at age 24, he started Fox's Pizza Den in Pitcairn, Pennsylvania. With $500, a rented storeroom and a few pieces of used equipment (rescued from a snow-covered Pittsburgh scrap yard), he began to build his empire. In 1973, Fox's Pizza Den started offering home delivery. Since 1974, the company has grown to over 150 franchises. Fox's Pizza is a family-owned and -operated company that offers toppings such as pepperoni, sweet peppers, hot banana peppers, beef, bacon, anchovies, black olives, pineapple and more. Fox's also offers stromboli, gourmet pizzas, hoagies and wedgies (a sandwich served on pizza crust). Jim Fox assisted with Carnegie Mellon University's robotic team in developing the country's first pizza-making robot to help the physically disabled own and operate their own shops.

    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. The franchisor estimates the payments made to them and their affiliates together with Initial Fee payments will range from $84,750 to $167,500 for a Domino's Pizza Traditional Store and $65,750 to $158,500 for a Domino's Pizza Non-Traditional Store.
