Our Story
The Domino’s story goes all the way back to 1960, when Tom and James Monaghan opened the first “DomiNick’s” store in Michigan, USA. A year later, Tom traded his car to buy his brother's share of the store and later renamed the business Domino's Pizza. The three dots on our logo represent the three stores that Tom originally planned to open (we’ve got just a few more than that now!). After opening across the pond in 1985, with the first UK Domino’s store in Luton, Domino’s today has over 1,300 stores across the UK and Republic of Ireland, serving more than 114 million freshly handcrafted pizzas a year.
While some things about Domino’s have changed in the last 60+ years, the simple founding ambition remains the same - to deliver piping hot, freshly made pizzas to our customer’s doors in as quick a time as safely possible, while being a good neighbour in the local community. On our journey, from day one to today, Domino’s has been at the forefront of revolutionising pizza delivery and is proudly the number one pizza delivery company in the UK and Ireland.
