Fast, Free Delivery Penn State's Newest Tradition i M any things have become es- tablished traditions for Penn State stu- dents . . . tailgating, all-nighters, waiting in lines . . . but recently a new tradition has been added-having, a Domino's Pizza delivered. Whether it was during finals week or during a party, you could always count on Domino's filling those hunger pains. The story of Domino's began in Ann Arbor Michigan, known originally as Dominick's established in 1960 by Thomas Monaghan and his brother. By 1965, Thomas bought out his brother's Share of the company, took out the sit- ting area in the restaurant, making it either take out or delivery, and limited the menu to pizza and drinks. After this period, Domino's began spreading in college towns across the country. They began in that manner because that is how Thomas Monaghan met his wife. He met her while he was delivering a pizza to her dorm room. Later of course they got married, and he established Domino's on many college campuses. He thought this concept would thrive, and indeed it did. As of 1983, Domino's was the second largest pizza delivery g Kathleen Prince company in the world, and celebrated its 1000th store, according to Mr. Greg Fuller, the Administrative Officer for Domino's in State College. As far as Penn State and Domino's were concerned, the Domino's on West Beaver Ave. was the first Domino's es- tablished in Pennsylvania. A year later another one came to Happy Valley, and both have served the community well. According to Mr. Fuller, being part of the community is our philosophy which has been exemplified by our involve- ment with Sigma Alpha Epsilon for Homecoming and Alpha Chi Rho's haunted house. Football weekends brought Domino's to the height of its community involve- ment. Since their business is delivery, Domino's has become organized chaos with phones ringing like a telethon, ten cars continuously rotating-an environ- ment containing the hustle and bustle of a satellite of Grand Central Station. Debbie, a driver for the Beaver store, said she liked the people at Domino's, especially during the rush periods, Its a challenge. She also said, We have fun when we are under pressure. From the Kllhlccn Prince drivers point of view, Lynn, John, and Mark said, On the whole delivering is alright except for drunk people who walk in front of the cars, or set their clocks 15 minutes fast, they try to tell us that we are late. Other than the Domino's plastic cups that are a constant reminder to the public, our radio advertisements, said Mr. Fuller, set us apart from the other food establishments; We have so many ads, which are alternated and are repeated so much so that we have become an automatic source for piz- za. According to Restaurant Busi- ness Magazine, Domino's only adver- tises by radio, and not by television. But when football season, ends, does the business for Domino's end? Not 50, said Mr. Fuller, When the football season ends, the bad weather begins, people stay in more, and they hear that old familiar temptation on the radio. . .Domino's Pizza deliversh Article by-Robert Howarth Layout by-Robert Howarth Mark sliced the pizza in the labeled boxes so that delivery was correct and on time.
