Pizza and soccer may not seem like an obvious pairing, but both have a way of bringing people together. That's what made Domino's and Saturdays Football a natural fit this summer as the two brands teamed up for Pickup for Pickup, a community-focused event series celebrating connection through the game.

Throughout June and July, the series stopped in Austin, Texas; New York; San Diego; and Gardena, California, welcoming players and fans of all ages for free pickup soccer games, music, Domino's pizza and exclusive co-branded merchandise. As enthusiasm for soccer continued to grow throughout the summer, the events provided an opportunity for local communities to compete and connect both on and off the field.

While Pickup for Pickup marked a unique collaboration for Domino's, the idea behind it was simple. Both brands recognize that some of life's best moments happen when people gather together. The series brought that shared belief to life by creating welcoming spaces where neighbors, friends and soccer fans could meet new people and enjoy a memorable experience together.

Select attendees received limited-edition Pickup for Pickup merchandise, including co-branded jerseys, hats, soccer balls, slides and a $10 Domino's gift card, a nod to one of soccer's most iconic jersey numbers.

"Whether it was longtime friends joining a match or new faces meeting on the field for the first time, the events reflected the sense of community that both Saturdays Football and Domino's value," said Jenny Fouracre-Petko, Domino's spokesperson. "We were proud to be part of moments that extended beyond the game itself."

As the series wrapped up, Pickup for Pickup demonstrated how two brands with a shared passion for community could create memorable moments throughout the summer. Some of the best experiences begin when people come together to share something they love.

Every two years, Worldwide Rally brings together franchisees, team members and leaders from around the globe to celebrate accomplishments, share ideas and recognize those who have made an outstanding impact on the brand.

During the 2026 Worldwide Rally in Las Vegas, individuals and franchise organizations were recognized for their dedication, leadership and commitment to excellence. Among the highest honors presented was the Gold Franny Award, one of the most prestigious awards a Domino's franchisee can receive.

For more than 40 years, the Gold Franny Award has recognized some of the best franchisees in the Domino's system. First introduced in 1982, the award honors franchisees who demonstrate exceptional operational performance, leadership and commitment to their teams, communities and fellow franchisees.

The first Gold Franny recipients were Mack Patterson and Jeff Litmann, and the award continues to recognize an elite group of franchisees whose impact extends far beyond store performance.

Only a small percentage of Domino's franchisees qualify to receive a Gold Franny Award. Recipients are recognized not only for delivering strong service, sales and store growth, but also for embodying Domino’s values and giving back to their communities and fellow franchisees.

Congratulations to All 2026 Award Recipients

The accomplishments recognized at Worldwide Rally reflect the dedication, innovation and leadership that continue to drive Domino's forward. Congratulations to this year's recipients for their contributions to the brand, their teams and the communities they serve.

Long before founding RPM Pizza in 1981, brothers Richard and Glenn Mueller were already building and planning together– designing intricate model train sets as children and carefully mapping out every detail. Their passion for trains continued and as teenagers they created one of the largest model train sets in their home state, Ohio, measuring 12 ping pong tables long.  Their passion taught them how to dream big and think at scale while focusing on fine details.

As they grew older, the brothers applied those skills, along with values rooted in family, faith and sports, to build one of Domino’s largest franchise systems in the United States. Over the course of 45 years, RPM Pizza helped bring new innovations to Domino’s, guided more than 155 RPM Pizza team members to become franchisees and supported their surrounding communities during times of immense need.

RPM’s Origin Story

Richard P. Mueller Jr. (the “RPM” in RPM Pizza) began his career with Domino’s in 1967 as a part-time driver while studying engineering at the University of Michigan. As he grew within the brand, he left college to pursue the business full time.

In partnership with Tom Monaghan, he went on to open 60 stores in Ohio before age 30, later merging with the company and becoming a 10% owner and vice president of operations.

“He really fell in love with pizza and Tom Monaghan’s vision of having the busiest and best pizza place and delivery company,” shared Glenn. “He ended up dropping out of school, borrowed some money from our parents, and bought his first Domino’s store and then went on to open about 61 stores.”

Over time, Richard began to envision building a business of his own, bringing family and friends into that vision. Glenn began supporting the Domino’s brand as a part time delivery driver while attending the University of Michigan. After earning his college degree, MBA and CPA, Glenn was working at a well-known accounting firm at age 25 when Richard approached him with an opportunity.

“He came to me and said, ‘Why don’t you help me look into businesses? I am about to get a check for more than $1 million and we can do anything,’” Glenn reminisced. “We explored other franchise options and I ran cost-benefit analyses, but in the end, we came back to Domino’s. It was the best fit for us and the opportunity was impossible to beat.”

In 1981, Richard sold his stock in Domino’s Pizza Inc. and received franchise development rights to Mississippi and Louisiana, with the requirement to build 120 stores in less than 10 years, something they quickly achieved within five years. Together, Richard and Glenn co-founded RPM Pizza, and with support from their brother-in-law, Tom Holliday, they went on to open hundreds of stores.

Torches that Lit Up RPM’s Darkest Times

One priority that has remained at the forefront of RPM Pizza’s business, even during times of exponential growth and crisis, is putting their team and people first.

“Putting people first is the right thing to do, and it also goes back to Tom Monaghan’s golden rule: treat others the way you wish to be treated,” said Glenn. “Bo Schembechler also influenced how we did things. He inspired us to be very team focused and to come together to support each other– there is no 'I' in TEAM.”

In 1985, Glenn helped establish Domino’s Partner Foundation, a nonprofit that supports team members in need. He served as the foundation’s first president.

“Everybody experiences a setback in life,” Glenn shared. “Domino’s Partners Foundation supports team members during those times, whether it’s natural disasters or medical hardships. Today, for every dollar donated, the funds go back to team member in need.”

In the early 1990s Glenn contributed to creating the Domino’s Franchisee Association and Domino’s FORUM, where he served as president for 22 years. He is known for his high safety standards and created many measures and procedures that are used today throughout Domino’s stores.

RPM Pizza experienced steady growth but faced a storm in 1992 when the banks wanted out of the pizza business and called all $20 million of their loans at 21% interest. They quickly regrouped and “panned for gold”– a phrase they often use within their organization to brainstorm and look toward each other and fellow franchisees for answers. In collaboration with the Domino’s brand and other franchisees, they discovered a way to move forward and worked for the next five years to pay off all debts.

“Everyone at Domino’s is so brilliant: the franchisees, team members and corporate. When we pan for gold, we know that somewhere in the room there is a golden nugget or solution to whatever problem it is that we are working on,” Glenn said. “Sharing and collaborating is at the heart of both the FORUM and the Domino’s Franchisee Association. That exchange of ideas and information with the goal of lifting each other up, especially during challenges, strengthens the brand and builds resilience. It’s a unique connection others externally may not always see, but it remains one of our biggest hidden strengths.”

In 2003, Richard Jr. retired from RPM Pizza and Glenn became the official franchisee with Richard Mueller III, Richard Jr.’s son, serving as chief operating officer.

Though the bank was satisfied and business was turning around, the storms RPM faced were not over yet, as Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast in 2005. It claimed lives and livelihoods; 86 RPM stores were damaged, with 16 completely destroyed.

“There was no power, water or means of communication, so we posted a piece of paper at stores checking on everyone. We realized every business was closed – including our competitors,” Glenn said. “So, to start I said we are going to do the right thing and guarantee our team members food, clothing, shelter and a paycheck.”

Not only did Richard return to support his brother during this time of need, but also various Domino’s franchisees from different states traveled in to offer aid with donations, water, clothing and free pizza. Partners Foundation also showed support by helping over 400 team members find housing.

“I think it tested our brand and character, and Domino’s showed up. It taught us that in times of adversity, we are going to roll our sleeves up and do the right thing – take care of our team, help the community and then serve our customers,” said Glenn. “We will make sure we’re safe of course, but we are going to be the first to open and the last to close.”

Despite the adversity, RPM continued to grow and innovate. At one point the franchise built or acquired more than 510 stores in three countries and 11 states.

Passing the Torch

As Glenn reflects on RPM’s journey, he remains focused on preserving the family legacy and putting people first.

“From the time Richard and I formed our partnership and launched RPM Pizza on Feb. 6, 1981, we wanted to be the best franchisees at Domino’s,” Glenn shared. “Richard and I also wanted to keep RPM Pizza in the family, and we hoped that one day, there would be a successor who would take RPM Pizza boldly into the next phase.”

RPM Pizza currently operates more than 137 locations across Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Indiana, continuing its family-led legacy as Glenn passes the torch to his son, Rogers. Glenn’s daughter, Merrin Mueller-Wells, is also increasing her ownership stake in the franchise and will expand her role as senior vice president of people and business development. Glenn will still play a role within RPM as chief safety and growth officer.

“While I will be working less hours, I will be there to help coach and mentor. I will be supporting team member safety, reducing crashes and lowering insurance costs,” said Glenn. “I also want to continue helping people franchise. We have a road map to success and will continue to help guide them through that process. Many people fall in love with the business, and through our Pizza College training center, we help them build skills, make connections and take the next step in their careers. Each step along the way we try to help them hit their goals.”

Glenn is also focusing his time on coaching youth sports teams and leading TrainTastic™, the world's largest model railroad museum. The museum, located at 615 Pass Road in Gulfport, Mississippi, was built by Richard and Glenn to inspire joy and childhood memories for all ages. The 50,000-square-foot museum offers more than 30 interactive model train layouts as well as STEM training and train rides.

Behind every Domino’s pizza is a robust supply chain designed to deliver the highest quality products to stores across the country. Built on a team first mindset, Domino’s supply chain operates with a simple philosophy: within supply chain, every department is the next one’s customer.

That shared accountability is essential to efficiency, effective customer service, and the safety and quality standards our stores rely on every day. At the center of it all are the dedicated team members who make, move and manage the ingredients behind Domino’s most popular menu items.

“With Domino’s supply chain, we are built to deliver,” said Ron Erving, manager of talent development for Domino’s supply chain. “Our network is designed to serve regional customers while remaining flexible when unexpected events occur. Supporting a company of this size is complex, but our talented team members handle it with the power of possible.”

What Makes Domino’s Supply Chain Unique

Domino’s supply chain is designed so stores can focus on what they do best: making and delivering great pizzas. That’s why Domino’s utilizes a central commissary system—facilities where ingredients are made, stored and distributed to stores across North America.

Through a network of 30 dough manufacturing and food distribution centers in North America, Domino’s supply chain provides more than 200 products to over 7,200 stores in the United States, made possible by the people behind the scenes.

Dough Production: Where Quality Begins

Dough production is a core function of supply chain operations, ensuring the freshness and performance of Domino’s most essential product. Food production team members are specially trained to make and move fresh pizza dough, while also maintaining the cleanliness and upkeep of critical production equipment.

“I never realized how much logistics went into ordering a pizza until I came here,” said a Domino’s production associate. “What started as a job turned into a career. We work hard, we have fun, and we really feel like a family.”

Keeping Stores Moving

Warehouse teams play a critical role in managing inventory and ensuring accurate, on time deliveries. From loading and unloading products to completing load verifications, their work keeps supply centers and stores in sync.

From there, Domino’s commercially trained safe, professional drivers take over, many of whom earned their Class A CDL through Domino’s Driver Development Program, which removes barriers to entry and invests directly in team member growth by fully covering CDL schooling and paying them while they attend school.

"Joining the Driver Development Program was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career and my future,” said Terry Foston, a 2026 driver development program graduate. “When I first started, I knew I wanted to earn my Class A license, but I didn’t fully understand how much discipline the process would require. The program gave me not only the technical skills to succeed, but also the confidence to grow into a completely new level of responsibility.”

The Domino’s Driver Development Program prepares graduates to become certified professional drivers in as little as eight to 12 weeks without the burden of out of pocket costs.

“Before joining Domino’s, earning a Class A license was a personal goal,” said Kyle Glasgow, 2025 Driver Development Program graduate. “My leaders supported me every step of the way. Their investment in my growth showed me that when I get better, the company gets better.”

Innovation in Motion: Stop Loading

Domino’s supply chain continues to evolve through innovations like stop loading, a delivery system that significantly reduces driver idle time during store deliveries. Products arrive in carts built specifically for each store’s inventory needs, allowing for more efficient, safer deliveries and less heavy lifting. The result: increased efficiency, improved safety and expanded opportunities for more team members to step into these roles.

A Culture Built on Growth

Beyond keeping stores stocked and operating, Domino’s supply chain leadership is deeply invested in team member development and career growth.

“From the second I joined the Indiana supply chain, I was encouraged to seek growth opportunities,” said Joe Pivoriunas, inventory control lead at Domino’s. “Whether it was through the DDP program, the internal job board or from talks with the director, I always felt that this was more of a career than a job. I am proud of the work that I've done, to allow me to achieve my goals and grow within the company as well as personally. I've embarked on a new path in my career that has already paid dividends and for that I'm forever grateful to Domino's.”

At its core, while Domino’s supply chain moves products, it also powers growth, creates opportunity and ensures every order delivers on the quality customers crave.

“Our village thrives by being strong together and focused on continuous improvement,” said Erving. “I’m honored to play a small part in creating opportunities for our team members to grow their careers and build their personal brands along the way.”

In 2013, 17-year-old Jessie Work started her first job at a local Domino’s in Rapid City, South Dakota – a workplace where she felt an immediate connection to the people and culture. While many may not see a high school job as a long-term opportunity, Jessie knew Domino’s would be part of her future.

“Even when I was getting letters from colleges, I just knew Domino’s was where I wanted to be,” said Work. “I didn’t know exactly what it would look like yet, I just knew this was going to be something big in my life.”

Work actively took on additional responsibilities that helped her deepen her understanding of store operations. Each new position built her confidence as she continued to grow and step into new roles.

“I’ve worn almost every hat,” Work said. “I’ve been a customer service representative, driver, shift leader, assistant manager and general manager. Every role helped shape who I am as a leader today.”

While serving as a general manager, Work realized she was ready to pursue store ownership, a milestone she had been aspiring to for years. In 2020, that dream became a reality when she and her husband, Cory, made the bold decision to sell their home to invest in a Domino’s store.

“You can always buy another house, but you don’t always get the chance to buy a Domino’s,” Work said.

Determined to do things the right way, Work leaned on the guidance and partnership of franchisee Allan Erwin, who owned the store she worked in. Over the years, he was a steady supporter who became a mentor she deeply values.

“What really separated Jessie for me was when she came to me not just saying she wanted to franchise, but showing me exactly how she was going to do it,” said Erwin. “In nearly 20 years, I hadn’t seen that. She had a real plan, backed by smart decisions she had made on her own, including investing in real estate at a young age. We worked with her to develop a store in an area that made sense for her family, and from day one, we knew the execution would be there. She leads with accountability and positivity in a way that you just can’t teach.”

Together, they identified Belle Fourche, South Dakota, as the ideal location. Work embraced the opportunity and stepped into her current role as Erwin’s operating partner and director of operations, running the store with both independence and strong support from his franchise team.

What sets Work apart as a leader is her presence. She is in the store every day, building relationships with team members and customers alike. She combines Domino’s training tools with hands-on coaching, ensuring her team feels supported, challenged and valued. She creates a culture that feels personal, positive and empowering.

Her people-first approach extends beyond the store, as Work is deeply invested in the Belle Fourche community. She and her husband support local schools and youth sports and regularly organize fundraisers and pizza donations for nearby causes. Work believes Domino’s should be more than just a place to order pizza. Her store is a trusted community partner, and she is proud to be known locally as “the Domino’s girl.”

“Jessie embodies the spirit of Domino’s through her consistency, high standards and deep commitment to her people,” said Gwyn Geiman, director of training for Erwin’s franchise. “She runs an excellent operation, but what truly sets her apart is how intentionally she develops her team. She understands each individual, places them where they can thrive and invests the time and energy to help them get there. She expects a lot and gives just as much in return, leading with both kindness and determination.”

Outside of her role as “the Domino’s girl,” Work is known as a mom to her two young children, from whom she draws daily inspiration. She is especially inspired by her oldest son, Ayven, who is autistic, nonverbal and has alopecia. She credits him as her greatest motivation, pushing her to pursue big goals and reminding others that anything is possible.

“My children are my biggest inspiration, and I’ve also been deeply influenced by the people at Domino’s who took the time to mentor me and challenge me,” Work said. “Their belief in me helped give me the confidence to take so many leaps.”

Work’s story is far from over. With a goal of owning multiple stores and continuing to grow within the Domino’s system, she remains focused on learning, improving and giving back. Her journey is a powerful example of what is possible at Domino’s—we all start somewhere.

This April, Domino’s stores across Michigan are coming together for a statewide effort in honor of Autism Acceptance Month, demonstrating the power of collaboration across local markets and communities.

On April 15, 112 Domino’s stores throughout Michigan – including both franchise‑owned and corporate‑owned locations – will participate in a one‑day fundraising initiative for local police, fire, and EMS teams so they may purchase Carter Kits, sensory toolkits designed to help first responders better support individuals with autism and other sensory sensitivities during emergency situations.

The fundraiser represents a coordinated effort across the Michigan Domino’s market, bringing together franchise owners, corporate store teams and local leadership with a shared goal: supporting first responders with practical tools that can make a meaningful difference during high‑stress interactions.

Carter Kits include items such as noise‑reducing headphones, fidget tools, visual communication cards and other calming resources. These tools are intended to help first responders create safer, more supportive environments when interacting with neurodiverse children and individuals – particularly in moments where communication barriers or sensory overload can escalate an already stressful situation.

In addition to supporting individuals on the autism spectrum, Carter Kits help first responders approach complex situations with greater understanding, clarity, and confidence, strengthening trust between emergency personnel and the communities they serve.

“Across Michigan, our store teams and franchisees are deeply connected to the communities they serve,” said Aaron Dolkowski, Michigan Domino’s franchisee. “This fundraiser reflects a shared commitment to supporting first responders while also helping families and individuals who benefit from greater understanding and sensory‑informed care.”

Participating stores span communities throughout Metro Detroit, Southeast Michigan, West Michigan, Mid‑Michigan, and the Upper Peninsula, highlighting the scale and reach of the effort.

“Autism Acceptance Month is an opportunity for us to show up together,” said Dolkowski. “Whether it’s through our own families, our employees or the people we serve every day, this issue touches many lives. Supporting Carter Kits allows us to help first responders in a very tangible way, right here in our communities.”

The initiative aligns with the brand’s broader commitment to local involvement and community support, with a focus on programs that provide real‑world solutions. By working across ownership models and geographic regions, the Michigan Domino’s market is aiming to create lasting impact beyond a single day.

To support the Autism Acceptance Month fundraiser, customers can place their order at dominos.com on April 15.

“Like many Domino’s franchisees, when I started as a young man, I honestly thought it was just a temporary job while I figured out my real career,” said Brian Bailey, Domino’s largest U.S. franchise owner. “What I didn’t realize at the time was that I had just stumbled into one of the greatest entrepreneurial opportunities in the country.”

In 2025, Bailey secured the title of Domino’s largest U.S. franchise owner with the purchase of 45 Domino’s stores in Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. With his most recent store opening earlier this year in Texas, Bailey hit the milestone of being a franchise owner of 160 stores spanning across five states: Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas.

After earning his electrical engineering degree in 1985 from DeVry Institute of Technology, while looking for what he described as "a real job,” he started delivering pizzas for Domino’s in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Just 58 days after he started as a driver, Bailey was promoted to manager of Alamogordo Domino’s.

“I always say, ‘It’s not rocket science’ – although that’s what I was envisioning for my career!” Bailey shared. “Domino’s is one of the few brands where someone can start at in an entry level job at the store and build an incredible career through hard work, leadership and determination.”

Building the Largest Domino’s Franchise in the U.S.

Bailey quickly advanced within the brand and gained hands-on experience building and running stores from the ground up. This led him to owning his first Domino’s store in 1988, in Carlsbad, New Mexico. By 1999, he was debt-free, owned 12 stores, and faced a pivotal decision.

“We had three choices once we hit 12 stores: sell, coast or go big … I didn’t want to sell, and I don’t like to coast, so we decided to go big,” Bailey shared.

Bailey is incredibly grateful for his family, team, franchise community, corporate partners, and the leaders who helped guide him along the way such as Zig Ziglar, Tom Monaghan, Patrick Doyle, Don Meij, and Russell Weiner.

“Success in business is rarely about one individual. It is about people coming together with a shared purpose, lifting each other up and building something bigger than themselves,” Bailey said. “When I look back over the past 40 years, the most meaningful part of the journey has not been the number of stores we operate. It has been watching thousands of team members grow into leaders, support their families and build better lives.”

People, Culture and Giving Back

Today, Bailey’s Domino’s franchise employs more than 3,000 people who operate under a shared mission statement, “Guarantee every customer is WOWed by me.” Many of his leaders such as Anthony Fish, Rob Hoff, Cyndi Tweet, Tim Erb, Scott Gates, and Callea Bogdon have spent decades supporting and growing the brand.

“Our team is everything,” Bailey said. “When our team members succeed, their families succeed, our stores succeed, and our communities succeed. That is the real engine behind our growth.”

Bailey’s franchise is guided by three core values: growth, great operations and giving back. Last year alone, Team Bailey contributed nearly $250,000 to the Domino’s Partners Foundation, setting a new foundation record. In addition to supporting the Domino’s Partners Foundation, Bailey’s franchise regularly gives back at the local level, supporting local schools, food banks and community organizations across the five states they serve.

“Giving back has always been important to Michelle and me because we believe that success carries responsibility,” Bailey said. “The opportunities we have been given in life and in business are blessings, and we believe those blessings should create opportunities to help others. When businesses and communities work together to lift people up, everyone benefits.”

Family, Faith and the Future

Michelle Bailey, Brian’s wife, plays an essential role not only in his life but also within the business. She supports multiple functions within the franchise and often jumps in to make pizzas alongside their teams during large rushes and will even stay late to help with cleaning. Within Bailey’s franchise, Michelle is affectionately known as “Mrs. Boss.”

“Her support, wisdom, and partnership have made everything we have built possible,” said Bailey.

Faith and family remain at the center of Bailey’s leadership philosophy.

“Family keeps you grounded. No matter how busy business becomes, family reminds you what truly matters,” he said. “Faith gives you perspective. It reminds you that leadership is really about serving others, treating people with respect, and trying to make a positive impact on the lives around you.”

Looking ahead, Bailey is focused on continued growth within the pizza QSR category and believes the best chapters are still ahead.

“Domino’s success story is still being written, and it is exciting to be part of that journey,” Bailey said. “We were made for more.”

In 1986, Marianne Brown decided to stay with her great grandmother, Mary Masco, for a sleepover she would never forget.

Masco was born in Italy in the outskirts of Rome in 1899. At the age of 12, she voyaged to the United States with her family where they entered America’s cultural melting pot, New York.

“When she came here, she couldn’t read or write. They actually enrolled her in kindergarten at the age of 12 and my cousin said she ended up dropping out the same day because the other little kids made fun of her,” Brown said. “She spoke Italian and knew little English. Although I grew up in an Italian family, I never learned Italian and so we struggled to communicate.”

As Masco grew in age, family members would take turns staying with her. One evening when Brown volunteered to stay the night, the two were watching The Lawrence Welk Show and getting hungry, so Brown began scouring through their phone book to find a delicious place to grab some grub.

“I kid you not, I sat there calling almost every pizza place I could find and Domino’s was the only one that delivered!” she reflected. “I remember going to tell my grandmother that we were having pizza delivered and her jaw dropped to the floor. It was the funniest thing ever; she could not get over the fact that pizza was being delivered to her home. It made the whole thing so special. It’s funny how pizza can bring two people so much closer.”

The moment was never forgotten and later when Masco passed away, Brown got a Noid tattoo on her shoulder which serves as a reminder of their laughter, shared pizza memories and connection.

“I wish I would’ve spent more time with her, she was a very strong woman,” Brown shared. “At the time we were your traditional American Italian family and while we ate together as a large family and saw each other frequently for holidays, but there was little time to connect with her one on one. I am so glad I was able to spend that time with her. It made a huge difference in my life.”

Today, the Noid tattoo still sparks conversation—but for Brown, it’s more than a tattoo. It’s a reminder that one Domino’s pizza delivery turned an ordinary night into a memory she carries forever.
