About this episode

It’s hard to imagine life without pizza, and difficult to imagine pizza and pizza delivery without Domino’s. It all began in 1960 with one store in Michigan. Now, Domino’s is the number one pizza restaurant in the world operating in 95 countries. By the end of the decade, Domino’s expects to have 30,000 stores. Ninety-eight percent of the stores are owned by franchisees. And 95% of store owners worked at a Domino’s before becoming owners. It’s a success story fueled by a love of pizza, opportunity, and innovation. Joe Jordan is President of US Business and Global Functions at Domino’s. He’s been with the organization for 11 years. He joins us to talk about the pizza business, Domino’s guiding principles, and what it takes to stay on top.
