Why it’s on the listTom Monaghan’s own account of building Domino’s from a single failing Michigan storefront bought in 1960 into a national franchise system — narrowing the menu to pizza and delivery, the unit economics of a thirty-minute promise, franchising fights, the Domino Sugar trademark suit and a near-bankruptcy along the way.

Where I heard about it

  • @mastersinvest — one of the 46 books on his “2025 Reading … so far” list (August 2025), annotated “Domino’s — Tom Monaghan”; a founder telling the operating story of a franchise business from the inside, which is most of what that list is. Full list: 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet).
