Paving began yesterday in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania – one of the recent paving grant recipients.
New England roads are the natural enemy of the delivery pizza, and one international pizza company hopes to make a small dent in the number of pizzas falling victim to the top of the pizza box in North Worcester County.
Domino’s Pizza, Inc. has granted $5,000 to Fitchburg to help the city fill its many potholes, the company said Wednesday. The city is one of 10 U.S. cities to have received a grant from the Michigan-based pizza giant to help put pizzas and delivery drivers at ease.
According to Fitchburg city officials, the grant will be used to help purchase asphalt mix to fill potholes, labor costs and other materials.
Fitchburg is one of 10 U.S. cities to have received a grant, including Des Moines, New Orleans and Milwaukee.
The company’s Paving For Pizza campaign began in June with the company asking customers to nominate a city needing cash to help fix roads.
According to Domino’s, the company has received more than 137,000 nominations from more than 15,200 zip codes. Now, the company plans to expand the program to pave one community in each state.
According to media reports in New Orleans, Des Moines and Milwaukee, the company has granted $5,000 to each. If the company grants paving funds to each state at this rate, that would be a cost of $250,000.
Per the company’s own financial reports, Domino’s took in almost $278 million in 2017 profit on nearly $2.8 billion in sales.
Last month, the company reported second quarter profit of $77.4 million on revenues of about $780 million, year-over-year increases of 17.7 percent and 24 percent, respectively.
