Jack Cowin

I am an employee of DPE, and I can tell you right now, there is no-one in executive management named Jack Cowin. Your reference is wrong. According to the Domino's Pizza Enterprises corporate website, the three majority shareholders are Don Meij, Grant Bourke and Andrew Rennie. Any reason not to remove the sentence about him?

The original ads for Silvios were "131888 brings Silvios to your door" so Mikecraig's comment "where does it say this" can be replied to as "it doesn't say this except in the memories of a lot of people who lived in Brisbane before the advent of the WWW". Will try to get a ref. from the Brisbane Courier Mail of the time and repost . --MichaelGG 13:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Domino's Pizza Enterprises Limited

Introduction

Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Limited (DPE) 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. DPE is the exclusive master franchise for the Domino’s brand network in Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the Principality of Monaco, and Japan. Across these markets, DPE has over 1300 stores. In May 2005, DPE became the first publicly listed pizza company in Australia.

Early Years

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.

Community Initiatives

Partners Foundation

Domino’s prides itself on being there for team members in difficult times.. Founded in 1997, The Partners Foundation is Domino's internal non-profit organisation. It assists team members in times of special need or tragedy as a result of natural disasters, unexpected personal distress, on-the-job accidents and other emergencies.

Doughraisers

Domino's is proud to support local communities and charities every day of the year. A big part of this initiative is through local community doughraisers dedicated to raising money for a local community charity or event. Stores will host doughraisers and donate a percentage from every pizza sold to a cause close to their hearts. These are held on both small and large scales and can raise money for great causes including for emergency services organisations.

Going green with pushbikes and scooters

Pizza lovers can now receive their favourite Domino's pizza delivered via customised pushbikes, in a move to reduce the store's carbon footprint. A number of Domino's stores are converting from delivery scooters to pushbikes in a move to increase the speed of delivery times and reduce the impact on the environment, including noise pollution.

Domino's is committed to moving to electric scooters and pushbikes nationwide.

Starlight Children’s Foundation

Since being formed as an Australian children's charity in 1988, Starlight has brightened the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children and their families throughout Australia.

Domino's works closely with the Starlight Foundation on their annual events program – delivering delicious pizzas and sides in and out of hospital – providing positive distraction to children in their time of need.

This partnership includes providing pizza for Wish parties, pizzas for special events, doughraisers and other state wide initiatives and support. Find more information at starlight.org.au
