    Company Overviews

    About Breadeaux Pizza

    When their favorite pizzeria closed in 1984, convenience store owners Jim and Jennifer Larkin knew they had two options--live without pizza or start their own pizzeria. The couple took the entrepreneurial route and opened the first Breadeaux Pisa location in 1985.

    Fifteen years later, the company, which makes pizzas with a thick French crust, had more than 60 locations operating under the Breadeaux Pizza name. Each restaurant serves a variety of entr'and dessert pizzas (such as Taco or Apple Cinnamon), submarine sandwiches, hot wings, breadsticks, pastas, salads and cookies.

    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.
