When I was driving through Beaver Dam a few weeks ago, I was excited to see a new Domino's Pizza location on the horizon. You really can't miss the restaurant when driving down North Main Street. The building is bright and beautiful, soon it will be smelling delicious too!

New Domino's Opening in Beaver Dam

January 23rd, 2022 was supposed to be a great day. It was National Pie Day and the Grand Opening was planned for the new restaurant. The new Domino's location in Beaver Dam was set to open, but it wasn't to be. It's hard to believe that everything would change, based on an "oven hood". Because of state law, a fire suppression hood was needed before the opening of the restaurant. There were delays getting the hood from the company, then they waited on parts to arrive, only to find out that the sprinkler system also needed to be upgraded. It has been one thing after another, but if all goes well, they hope to open next week.

Janet Daugherty Coulter, "Praying that all gets better for you and will work out soon."

Felicia Howell, "Hang in there, perfection takes time!"

Linda Patten, "All good things come to those who wait. It will happen."

Robbie Poppy Creek, "Hang in there it will open soon! I'm ready!"

Brenda Mercer, "Love this pizza! So excited for Ohio County!!"

Opening Day Excitement

I had a chat with the owner, Carla Lawson today about the progress being made and more. She talked about how important it has been to make sure early excitement for the grand opening continues throughout the delays. She's tried to think of ways to engage on social media while staying transparent with the struggles at hand. There are frequent trivia contests with questions about how pizza is served all over the world. She and her husband Robert opened their first Domino's location on May 22nd, 2000, and currently have locations in Russelville and Central City, and hopefully very soon, Beaver Dam. They know how important it is to always stay active in the communities in which they serve! Trust me, the excitement is STILL there on social media.

Jason Decker, "Well, I can’t wait until y’all open. Been waiting for one close. But, prayers that it will be soon."

Heather Blair, "Hang in there! More time just lets everything fall into place. Ohio County is anxiously awaiting."

Rebecca Bidwell, "You will get there. And it will be great!!!!"

Domino's is Hiring in Beaver Dam

The management team and inside crew are pretty set for the moment, but they will be in need of delivery drivers. That may change as they may have to hire some extra team members once the demand is established after the soft opening.

Drivers start at $9 per hour $2 per delivery tips and mileage paid nightly. Applicants must pass a background check and drivers must pass MVR (motor vehicle record).
All applicants will be required to train at our Central City location with paid travel mileage.

Carla explained that many long-time crew members are like her family. They leave an everlasting mark on her and Robert, Carla shared with me.

Jason Norton, "Do you deliver to Cromwell?"

Sherrita Marshall, "How far is your delivery area?"

Ordering & Delivery of Domino's Pizza in Ohio County

Many have been asking on social media how far delivery will go in Ohio County. The rule of thumb is that delivery is within a 5-mile radius. They will offer some "Hot Spot" locations a little further out to accommodate some schools and factories that are close by. I love this idea. They work with businesses and organizations to offer a stop, in a well-lit area, so people can grab their pizza. For example, Southern Elementary is a perfect "Hot Spot" location to be close to Perdue. They'll also make "bigger" deliveries out of the area if order criteria are met with a small extra delivery fee tacked on. They're used to tackling large orders for churches, business parties, schools, etc.

Traci Midkiff, "Will you be having door dash available?"

Door Dash isn't available at this time because of Domino's great delivery service.

Rhonda Lynn Rowan, "When are y'all opening, and will you have dine-in eating available??"

Hoping to open next week, and there will be a few tables inside to eat at. It's not going to be an eat-in restaurant per se, but if someone is on a lunch break and wants to grab a slice, it's an option.
