One of the foods we here in America like to eat is pizza. Pizza was not created in America but a lot of the people here like to partake in a slice of pepperoni now and then. One of the top pizza suppliers go by the name of Domino’s Pizza or very recently named Dominos.  Domino’s pizza started by Tom Monaghan and his brother, James, purchased DomiNick’s a small pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan, near Eastern Michigan University. The deal was secured by a $500 down payment, and the brothers borrowed $900 to pay for the store. The brothers planned to split the work hours evenly, but James didn’t want to quit his job as a mailman to keep up with the new business. Within eight months, James gave Tom his half of the business for the car DomiNick’s was using for deliveries. By 1965, Tom Monaghan had purchased two additional pizzerias; he now had a total of three locations in the same county. Monaghan wanted the stories to share the same branding, but the original owner forbid him from using the DomiNick’s name. One day an employee got back from a pizza delivery and suggested the name Domino’s. Tom immediately loved the name and officially renamed his business to Domino’s Pizza, Inc. in 1965. Domino’s has continued to grow and grow and is now one of the biggest Pizza companies in America
