Domino’s Pizza Named One of the Top 50 Franchises for Minorities

October 9th, 2007 | Author: Jack

Domino’s Pizza , the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, was recently selected as one of the top 50 outstanding franchisers for minorities by the National Minority Franchising Initiative (NMFI) for demonstrating an exceptional focus on recruiting and supporting minority franchisees.

Earlier this year, Domino’s unveiled its “Delivering the Dream” program designed to help turn current minority Domino’s team members into independent business owners by offering financial support to build new stores. When the initial announcement was made, Domino’s had already helped minority franchisees open three stores. Today, Domino’s has supported the construction of three additional stores in Socorro, Texas; Waverly, Ga.; and Gould, Fla., through the “Delivering the Dream” program.

“We recognize the importance of having diverse franchisees that mirror the world in which we live,” said Mike Mettler, Domino’s director of franchise recruiting and sales. “The ‘Delivering the Dream’ program helps to eliminate the financial roadblocks that may exist for motivated future minority franchisees to get their businesses off the ground. Our program is unique in the industry in terms of providing commitment and support to entrepreneurs who need assistance in meeting the initial financial hurdle involved in owning a business.”

In addition to the “Delivering the Dream” program, Domino’s is an active participant in the International Franchise Association’s MinorityFran Program, Minorities in Franchising Committee and the IFA’s Educational Foundation’s Diversity Institute.
