Domino's Pizza Enterprises (trading as Domino's) is an Australian public company that holds the exclusive master franchise for the Domino's Pizza brand network in Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Principality of Monaco and Japan. Across these markets, Domino's Pizza Enterprises (DPE) has over 1,500 stores. In May 2005 DPE became the first publicly listed pizza company in Australia. It is the largest pizza chain in Australia in terms of network store numbers and network sales, as well as the largest franchisee for the Domino's Pizza brand in the world[3]/

Early Years

United States

In 1960, Tom and James Monaghan purchased DomiNick’s pizza store in Michigan, United States.[4] 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.[5] 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.
