"When the pizza franchise got its start in Michigan in 1960, it was originally called "DomiNick's." After a change in ownership, the name became Domino's in 1965. The rebranded business hit the scene with a domino logo bearing three white dots that represented the chain's original three restaurants. At the time, Domino's cofounders planned to add a new dot with every additional franchise that opened. But, due to rapid growth, the idea proved unfeasible, and the trio stuck."
"According to data analytics firm ScrapeHero, as of August 2025, there are 7,108 Domino's across all 50 U.S. states and two territories. Texas alone has 765 stores, followed by California with 596 and Florida with 489. Zooming out, Domino's global presence exceeds 20,000 locations in over 90 countries around the world. The chain's first international locations opened in Canada and Australia in 1983."
"Domino's initial logo used a red and white color scheme for the tiles, adding blue in 1970. It was juxtaposed with the name "Domino's Pizza." Then, in 2012, the company rebranded as the mononymous "Domino's." This version has appeared on fans' pizza boxes until recently. In October 2025, Domino's unveiled its first brand refresh in 13 years, a non-radical attempt at modernization. The minimal, largely-undetectable changes made to the chain's classic, well-known branding concept are a slightly brighter red-and-blue color scheme and thicker typeface."
The business began in Michigan in 1960 under the name DomiNick's and became Domino's in 1965. The original domino logo displayed three white dots representing the chain's first three restaurants. Founders intended to add a dot for each new franchise, but rapid expansion made that plan impractical. As of August 2025, there are 7,108 U.S. locations across all 50 states and two territories, with Texas, California, and Florida leading. Global presence exceeds 20,000 locations in over 90 countries, with the first international stores opening in Canada and Australia in 1983. The logo evolved from a red-and-white scheme to include blue in 1970, rebranded to Domino's in 2012, and received a subtle refresh in October 2025 featuring brighter colors and a thicker typeface.
