With its signature wood-fried form, Domino's pizza has become a hot favourite of Nigerians but just how much do you know about this United States based pizza franchise? Let's share a brief story.
In 1960 Ypsilanti, Michigan, brothers Tom and James Monaghan paid $1,400 to purchase an existing pizzeria called DomiNick’s, and 8 months later Tom took full-time control of the business because James didn't want to quit his job as a mailman (go figure!).
Tom grew the business within the next few years and in 1965, 2 more stores were opened in nearby locations.

The first franchise was sold in 1967 and by 1978 there were 200 locations and over 1,000 locations by 1983 including one international outpost, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
