In February 2017, The Sydney Morning Herald reported profitability problems with a number of franchises and that a number of Dominos stores in Australia had engaged in widespread underpayment of wages and deliberate underpayment of penalties.
United States
In 1960, Tom and James Monaghan purchased DomiNick’s pizza store in Michigan, United States. After eight months of trade James traded in his share of the business for a Volkswagen Beetle and forbade Tom from using the DomiNick’s name; and so the Domino’s name was born. The three dots in the logo represent the three original Domino’s stores, with a dot to be added for each additional store; this idea was dropped when the business experienced rapid growth
Australia
The first Domino’s store to open in Australia was in Springwood, Queensland, in 1983, and was the first pizza maker in Australia to offer home delivery. The Australian and New Zealand Master Franchise was bought by Silvio’s Dial-a-Pizza in 1993 and in 1995 the two brands merged and rebranded as Domino’s Pizza.
